July 2008
Health and Safety Executive: A further meeting
with the Health & Safety Executive took place on the 28th April
to consider proposed changes regarding the holding of ‘shooters’
powders’. This was concerned almost exclusively with trade-related
issues, such as whether the police or the local authority should licence
RFDs and those who dealt in shotgun cartridges, and simplified licensing
for game fairs. Of interest to shooters, however, was confirmation of
the continuation of explosives licenses for shooters (the proposed use
of the FAC or SGC as an authority to acquire has definitely been dropped),
a much simplified application form, and the continuing acceptability
of 1 kg containers for black powder, about which the HSE will advise
the police in due course. The existing permitted maximum holdings of
‘shooters’ powder’ remain unaltered, viz. 15 kg of black
powder, or 10 kg of black powder and 5 kg of smokeless.
