Regulation 18 Documentation to be available during carriage
The driver and any attendant of a vehicle which is being used for the carriage of explosives shall ensure that the Transport Documentation is—
subject to paragraph (4), kept readily available on the vehicle at all times while the explosives are being carried; and
produced on request to any police constable or goods vehicle examiner.
Where a trailer which is being used for the carriage of explosives becomes detached from the motor vehicle—
the driver of the vehicle shall give the Transport Documentation (or an authenticated copy thereof) to the occupier of any premises on which the trailer is parked, and
in such a case, the occupier shall ensure that such documentation is kept readily available at those premises; or
the driver of the vehicle shall attach the Transport Documentation (or an authenticated copy thereof) to the trailer in a readily visible position.
The driver of a vehicle which has been used for the carriage of explosives shall ensure that any documentation relating solely to explosives which are not then being carried is either removed from the vehicle or placed in a securely closed container clearly marked to show that it does not relate to any explosives which are being carried.
Nothing in paragraph (1)(a) shall prevent the removal from the vehicle of the Transport Documentation for the purpose of showing it, or otherwise communicating it, to a police constable, the fire brigade, a goods vehicle examiner or an inspector.
