The various components of a load comprising explosives shall be properly stowed and secured by appropriate means to prevent them from being significantly displaced in relation to each other and to the walls of the vehicle.

Where explosives have escaped from any package into a container or vehicle in which they are being carried, the container or vehicle concerned shall be cleaned as soon as possible and, in any case, before reloading.

Before any explosives are loaded onto a vehicle or into a container, the surface upon which they are to be loaded shall be thoroughly cleaned.

Except where the engine has to be used to drive the pumps or other appliances for loading or unloading the vehicle, the vehicle’s engine shall be shut off during loading and unloading operations.
