All licence applications made under regulation 157(7) of the Dangerous Goods Safety (Explosives) Regulations 2007 (the Regulations) must be accompanied by a written explosives management plan (ExMP) that complies with regulation 161 and Schedule 10. The ExMP must be submitted in addition to the application form and any supporting documentation requested in that form.
This guide and accompanying self-audit templates will assist industry to prepare an ExMP. Use of the templates is not mandatory, but will ensure consistency in its application and streamline the review process.
