Information on explosives
Subregulation 1
A holder of an explosives transport licence to convey any consignment of explosives in a motor vehicle by road must give the driver of the motor vehicle or any attendant of the motor vehicle the following information in writing at the start of the Singapore journey:
the division and compatibility group of each type of explosives carried in the motor vehicle;
the net mass (in tonnes or kilograms) of each class of explosives carried or, where the holder does not know and cannot reasonably ascertain what the net mass is, the gross mass (in tonnes or kilograms);
the full name and contact address of each of the consignors and consignees of the consignment of explosives;
the procedures to minimise the probability and consequences of an incident happening while the explosives are carried, including requirements about the required response of the driver and attendant if an explosives incident happens;
such other information as will enable the driver and any attendant to know the nature of the dangers to which the explosives carried may give rise and the action to be taken in an emergency.
Subregulation 2
The driver and every attendant (if any) of the motor vehicle used to convey a consignment of explosives must —
keep the information mentioned in paragraph (1) in the motor vehicle where the information will be readily accessible at all times while the consignment of explosives to which the information relates is being transported;
remove from the motor vehicle any information in writing relating to any other explosives not being carried at that time, or place that information in a secure closed container clearly marked to show that the information does not relate to the consignment of explosives then being carried; and
show the information mentioned in paragraph (1) to a police officer who requests for it.
Subregulation 3
The driver or any attendant of a motor vehicle used to convey a consignment of explosives commits an offence if he or she intentionally or negligently contravenes paragraph (2).
Subregulation 4
To avoid doubt, paragraph (2)(a) does not prevent the temporary removal of the information mentioned in paragraph (1) from the motor vehicle for the purposes of showing or otherwise communicating the information to any police officer or any officer of the Ministry of Defence or the Singapore Civil Defence Force attending to any emergency involving the motor vehicle or the explosives in the motor vehicle.
