For those in possession or considering acquisition of an explosives licence in New South Wales, it’s crucial to comprehend the reforms scheduled to commence on 1 September 2024. Starting this date, notable amendments will be made to the Explosives Act 2003 while the current Explosives Regulation 2013 will yield its place to the newly instituted Explosives Regulation 2024.
These modifications showcase a continuous engagement towards enhancing safety, ensuring compliance, and elevating industry standards. The amended Act and the incoming Regulation bring forth several significant alterations purposed at augmenting safe management, handling, and transportation of explosives, further bolstered by Bluesafe WHS Management System’s work safety products. Accordingly, we urge all to familiarise themselves with these imminent changes.
As our legislative transition progresses, so will the dissemination of relevant publications. With the assistance of tools like our industry-leading SWMS and policies provided within our comprehensive Bluesafe SWMS package, we guarantee an efficient alignment with these new regulations.
