 When you're storing explosives, you have to keep the detonators and explosives separated from each other. When you're transporting explosives, it's also a requirement to keep the explosives separated. This truck is equipped with an explosives transport box that's specifically designed for transport of explosives and meets the requirements of the coat. You'll notice that there's orange diamond placards on it which indicate the type and class of explosives. Those placards are only to be displayed when you're transporting explosives. They're not to be displayed when there's no explosives being transported on the truck. The reason for this is if the truck is in an accident and catches fire, the rescue squad will not come and attend the vehicle when it contains explosives and it's on fire. You'll also notice that there's two red boxes on the back of the truck. Those contain fire extinguishers. There's also large explosives signs on the display on the truck. There's a requirement in the code for signs of a certain size lettering on a contrasting background. You'll also note that the truck is equipped with a buggy whip and a beacon light. The code requires for non-production vehicles to be equipped with either a beacon light or a buggy whip. This truck is equipped with both. What we're looking at here, we have the explosives compartment and the detonator compartment. It's separated inside by a very thick wall of wood and we keep it locked to prevent inadvertent access to the explosives. Inside this compartment is the cast boosters for priming boreholes. The wall that you see behind me here is made out of a very thick layer of wood which separates the explosives compartment of this truck from the cast compartment of the truck. You'll also note that there is no metal fixtures or metal tools within this compartment. This compartment that we're looking at now is the compartment for the detonators. It's separated from the previous compartment that we looked at by the thick layer of wood in that wall that we were talking about. The detonators are used to initiate the cast boosters which then initiate the bulk explosives. The compartment we're looking at now is the compartment provided on this truck for the blasters to carry tools and equipment that are not compatible with the transport of explosives. There'll be metal items in here and this compartment is used for that purpose. On the back of the explosives truck they've chosen to locate their fire extinguishers. We have two fire extinguishers in these cabinets. Those are 20 pound ABC dry chemical extinguishers. The blasting truck is required to carry two of these extinguishers at all times when transporting explosives. The transportation of dangerous goods requires placarding of explosives consistent with what is being carried. Here we have the orange diamond placard. Anytime you see orange placarding it's going to be explosives and this is the class and category of the explosives. These placards are only to be displayed when explosives are being transported. Any vehicle that will be accessing a blast pattern that contains explosives is required to be approved by the Chief Inspector of Mines. The Chief Inspector in accordance with the code will require several devices such as the fire extinguishers we looked at, the signage, the compartments. One of the features that I wanted to show here is the exhaust has been rooted rather than out the back of the vehicle. It's been rooted above the vehicle away from the ground to prevent any hot exhaust gases from making contact with explosives that may be on the ground. At the start of any shift a blaster will obviously be doing a pre-operational check of his vehicle. One of the items that he will be looking at is ensuring that there's sufficient fuel in the vehicle to get him through the shift. As it's not allowed to fuel a vehicle that contains explosives.
