explosives, be it emulsion explosives, slurries or watergels, both in
the factory and in the field, in open-pit or underground mining and quarrying,
and in construction work with a few noted exceptions.

A Quick Guide
to Family Fireworks Safety
This
brochure was developed to reinforce the key safety messages found on ERD's
family fireworks safety site called Explonet
and to provide children with safety information to take home to their
families so that all Canadians will have fun and stay safe while enjoying
family fireworks displays. Fun quizzes, helpful pictorials, and a brief
question and answer section highlight all major safety concerns when dealing
with family fireworks. Information on Explonet is also included in the
brochure.
Storage
Standards for Industrial Explosives
In the
interest of public safety, the Explosives Regulatory Division has enhanced
the physical security of explosives through a revised edition of the Magazine
Standards that came into effect on May 31, 2001. The standards include
new requirements for walk-in-type magazine doors and high-security locking
hardware. This revision incorporates a complete revised list of approved
locks in addition to a section on policy and decisions for magazines built
before May 31, 2001.
New
Canadian Quantity-Distance Manual
This manual
is the primary reference for siting explosives facilities, serving as
a necessary guide for factory operators and an accurate source of information
for anyone interested in the field.
The principles are adapted from those developed by NATO. In some cases the new principles may be more stringent than the old tables. However, all existing licences have been "grandfathered," i.e., exempted from the new requirements. While there is a charge for the complete manual, some segments of the explosives community (e.g., blasting, consumer fireworks) will continue to get appropriate extracts and guidance free of charge.
Price: $101.65 (GST included)
Pyrotechnic
Special Effects Manual
The Pyrotechnic
Special Effects Manual has been developed by ERD to promote safety and
legal awareness related to the use of pyrotechnics in the production of
special effects in venues such as stages, theatres, and film and video
production sets. The manual is used as the basis for the training of pyrotechnicians
- training that is a prerequisite for certification as a pyrotechnician
in Canada. It also provides guidelines for members of agencies that are
associated with pyrotechnics, such as fire departments, film commissioners,
police forces, and provincial occupational health and safety personnel.
Price: $26.75 (GST included)
