Substance secured from unauthorised access SFA  ANE and Class 1 explosives WUG  ANE and Class 1 explosives Limits access to trained personnel and minimises the potential for operator error or tampering. Emergency response planning SFA  Diesel, ANE, gasser, lime and Class 1 explosives WUG  Diesel, ANE, gasser and Class 1 explosives Describes the emergency procedures for a site and takes into account any foreseeable emergency such as a fire, spill or injury.
