Explosives Regulations (C.R.C., c. 599)

98. Due provision shall be made, by the use of suitable working clothes without pockets and suitable shoes and by searching and otherwise, or by some or all of such means, to prevent the introduction into any danger building of fire, matches or any substance or article likely to cause explosion or fire, and to prevent the introduction of any iron, steel, or grit into any part of a danger building where it would be likely to come into contact with explosive; and in the case of a magazine in which any explosive that is liable to be dangerously affected by water is kept, due precautions shall be taken to exclude water from such magazine; but this section does not prevent the introduction of an artificial light of such construction, position, or character that will not cause any danger of fire or explosion; and so much of this section as applies to the exclusion of iron, steel or grit does not apply in a magazine in which no explosive other than explosive of Division 1 of Class 6 (ammunition) is kept.
