(a)
Except as otherwise provided in this section, storage facilities in
which any explosive materials are stored shall be located at minimum distances
from inhabited buildings, passenger railways, public highways, and from other
storage facilities in which explosive materials are stored as specified in Saf-C 1640, provided that this table shall not apply to any
indoor storage facility.
(b)
When a storage facility is not barricaded, the distances shown in the
American Table of Distances, June 1991 edition available as noted in Appendix I,
shall be doubled.
(c)
For purposes of paragraph (b) above, a storage facility shall be deemed
barricaded when it is effectually screened, by a natural or artificial barricade,
from inhabited buildings, passenger railways, public highways, and other
storage facilities in which explosive materials are stored. The natural or artificial barricade shall be
of such height that a straight line from the top of any sidewall of the storage
facility to the
eave line of such
other inhabited building or storage facility, or to a point 12 feet above the
center of a passenger railway or public highway, will pass through such
intervening barricade.

Explosive materials not in unopened original packages shall be
transported from storage magazines to the blasting area in closed body
vehicles.
(b)
When blasting is done in congested areas or in close proximity to a
structure, railway, highway, or any other installation that might be damaged,

(c)
Persons authorized to prepare explosive charges or conduct blasting
operations shall use every reasonable precaution, including but not limited to
warning signals, flags, barricades, or woven mats to insure the safety of the
general public and workmen.
(d)
Whenever blasting is being conducted in the vicinity of gas, electric,
water, fire alarm, telephone, telegraph and steam utilities, the blaster shall
notify the representatives of such utilities designated by the utility company
or organization for receiving such information, at least 24 hours in advance of
blasting, specifying the location and intended time of such blasting. Verbal notice shall be confirmed with a
written notice. This time may be waived
by the utility.
(e)
All precautions shall be taken to prevent accidental discharge of
electric blasting caps from current induced by radar, radio transmitters,
lightning, adjacent power lines, dust storms, or other sources of extraneous
electricity.
(f)
These precautions shall include:
(1) The suspension of all blasting operations and
removal of persons from the blasting area during the approach and progress of
an electrical storm; or
(2) The posting of signs warning against the use
of mobile radio transmitters on all roads within 350 feet of the blasting
operations.

Saf-C 1626.04 Warning
Signal.
(a)
Before a blast is fired, a loud warning signal shall be given by the
person in charge, who has made certain that:
(1) All surplus explosives are in a safe place;
(2) All persons and vehicles are at a safe
distance or under sufficient cover; and
(3) An adequate warning has been given.
(b)
For the purposes of this section, a loud warning signal means that it is
capable of being heard by people within the landing area of the blasting site
in which debris might fall.

Location Mixing.
(a)
All fuel oil storage facilities shall be separated from the mixing plant
and situated in such a manner that in case of tank rupture, the oil shall drain
away from the mixing plant building.
(b)
Buildings or other facilities used for mixing blasting agents shall be
located, with respect to inhabited buildings, passenger railroads and public
highways, in accordance with the table of distances cited in Table 1640.2.
(c)
All internal-combustion engines used for power generation shall be

isolated by a firewall. The exhaust
systems on all such engines shall be located so that any spark emission cannot
be a hazard to any materials in or adjacent to the plant.
(d)
In determining the distance separating highways, railroads and inhabited
buildings from potential explosions, as prescribed in Saf-C
1640, the sum of all masses which might propagate from either individual or
combined donor masses shall be included.
However, when the ammonium nitrate is included, only 50 percent of its
weight shall be used because of its reduced blast effects.

Agent Compositions.

The sensitivity of the blasting agent shall be determined by means of a

formulation.
(b)
Oxidizers of small particle size, such as crushed ammonium nitrate prills or fines, might be more sensitive than coarser
products and shall, therefore, be handled with greater care.
(c)
No hydrocarbon liquid fuel with flash point lower than that of No. 2
diesel fuel oil, 125 F
minimum or legal, shall be used.
(d)
Crude oil and crankcase oil shall not be used as an explosive component
because they might contain light ends that offer increased vapor-explosions
hazards or gritty particles that tend to sensitize the resulting blasting
agent.
(e)
Metal powders such as aluminum shall be kept dry and shall be stored in
containers or bins which are moisture-resistant or weather-tight. Solid fuels shall be used in such manner as
to minimize dust explosion hazards.
(f)
Peroxides and chlorates shall not be used as an explosive component.

(a)
The necessary separation distances to prevent explosion of ammonium
nitrate based blasting agents by propagation from nearby stores of high
explosives or blasting agents referred to in the table as the "donor"
are set forth in Saf-C 1640.02.
(b)
Ammonium nitrate, by itself, shall not be considered a donor when
applying this table. Ammonium nitrate,
ammonium nitrate fuel oil or combinations thereof shall be considered
acceptors. If stores of ammonium nitrate
are located within the sympathetic detonation distance of explosives or
blasting agents, one-half the mass of the ammonium nitrate shall be included in
the mass of the donor. These distances
shall apply to the separation of stores only.
The table of distances shall be used in determining separation distances
from inhabited buildings, passenger railways and public highways.

the distances shown in the table shall be multiplied by 6. These distances allow for the possibility of
high velocity metal fragments from mixers, hoppers, truck bodies, sheet metal
structures, metal containers, and the like which may enclose the
"donor." Where storage is in
bullet-resistant magazines recommended for explosives or where the storage is
protected by a bullet-resistant wall, distances and barricade thicknesses in
excess of those prescribed in the tables of distances set forth in Saf-C 1640 shall not be required.
(b)
The distances in the table shall apply to ammonium nitrate that passes
the insensitivity test prescribed in the definition of ammonium nitrate
fertilizer, promulgated by the national plant food institute. Ammonium nitrate
failing to pass the test shall be stored in accordance with Table 1640.3 below.
