Explosives used at OGNZL include bulk explosives (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO) and emulsion), packaged explosives and electronic, electric and non-electric detonators. Explosive precursors, emulsion phase and gasser, are stored in the magazine facility though they are not classified as an explosive product until mixed (prior to mixing they are hazardous substances). Mixing of the products does not occur until immediately prior to charging therefore they are not stored, handled or transported as explosives. If any new products are introduced to site, they are subject to the same risk assessment, testing and management strategies as the explosives currently in use. 5.2 Delivery and Receipting of Explosives Explosives are delivered to site by an approved dangerous goods transport provider. All explosives transport vehicles must comply with the relevant site standards and all operators must be inducted to drive unaccompanied to the underground office block or be accompanied by a site escort. When explosives are delivered, they must be placed in the surface magazines in accordance with site procedures. This necessitates an Authorised Person to be present whilst unloading explosives. The Authorised Person must: • Check off all explosives against the delivery docket as they are unloaded into the appropriate magazines • Sign the delivered explosives in to the magazine logbook • Sign the delivery docket to verify the explosives received match those listed on the docket, any discrepancies will be reported to the Production Engineer immediately. • Lock the magazines • Give the signed delivery docket to a Production Engineer to process as received through stores
