What is a requirement for vehicles containing explosive material?

The requirement that vehicles containing explosive material should be occupied only by necessary personnel is crucial for safety and security reasons. This guideline minimizes the risk of injury or damage in the event of an accident or incident involving the explosive materials. Limiting the number of individuals in the vehicle reduces exposure to potential hazards and ensures that only trained and authorized personnel are present to handle or respond to emergencies involving explosives.

While other requirements regarding vehicles carrying explosives, such as being locked, having a driver only, and adhering to speed limits, are important aspects of safety procedures, focusing on restricting occupancy directly relates to immediately controlling risks associated with explosive handling. Ensuring that only essential personnel are aboard not only enhances safety but also ensures that the operational activities related to managing these materials are performed by those who are adequately trained to do so.
