Q

You will load class 1.2 commercial explosives and need to construct a portable magazine. Which is a requirement of the magazine?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Review requirements for portable magazines for class 1 explosives in 49 CFR and 46 CFR cargo handling sections • Consider what materials are prohibited for constructing explosive magazines (e.g., metal-to-metal contact, sparking hazards) • Think about how the magazine opens and closes and what feature is necessary for safe, repeated access during loading operations

💭 Think About

• Which option would most directly reduce the chance of sparks or damage to explosive containers when the magazine is opened and closed repeatedly? • For portable magazines, is the priority more about elevation, material of construction, fastening method, or method of access? Why? • Ask yourself: which feature is common to many safe storage boxes or chests used in explosive handling situations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the regulations whether metal construction is required or actually restricted for explosive magazines • Check if there is a specific requirement for how the cover or lid operates on a portable explosives magazine • Confirm whether any rule specifically mandates skid height or nails/screws for fastening as opposed to other fasteners (e.g., hinges, hasps)
