KR 8 - Transport
2.8.1.
It is important to note that KR 8 applies primarily for the transportation of ESA within
an explosives facility and for the planning of moves of ESA on public roads or by sea,
rail or air. Other national and international standards and qualifications, such as ADR,
apply for the transportation of ESA (and other dangerous goods) outside the explosives
facility.
2.8.2.
Many organisations will choose to use the same standards and qualifications for their
workers on-site so they are covered in the KR for completeness.
2.8.3.
Tying the KR to possible qualifications and jobs:
2.8.3.1.
Explosives Transport Supervision Level 3.
2.8.3.1.1.
This role is aimed at those working at supervisory level who plan the
safe and efficient transport of explosive substances and/or articles. This
might be by road, rail, air or sea.
2.8.3.1.2.
Typical job/role titles are: Explosives Transport Supervisor,
Explosives Logistics Officer.
2.8.3.2.
Explosives Road Transport Operations Level 2.
2.8.3.2.1.
This role is aimed at drivers of explosives who transport the load on
public roads.
2.8.3.2.2.
Typical job/role titles are: Driver, Lorry Driver, Van Driver.
2.9.
KR 9 – Facilities Management
2.9.1.
These standards are for those involved in the design of new explosives facilities or
taking into use existing real estate, its subsequent management and eventual
decommissioning.
2.10.
KR 10 – Other Applications
2.10.1.
The standards in KR 10 have been designed for industries using explosives and
describe the preparation and use of explosives. This includes such purposes as for
fireworks displays, film special effects, mineral extraction (on and offshore),
agriculture, demolition, quarrying and tunnelling, and so on. The can be summarised
as:
2.10.1.1.
Blasting & Shotfiring (MPQC/Proskills NOS for blasting)
2.10.1.2.
Use of explosives in entertainment
2.10.1.3.
Use of explosives for engineering purposes
ANNEX J - 8
2.10.2.
MPQC (formerly EPIC), the quarrying industry’s National Training Organization, has
developed a suite of National Occupational Standards (NOSs) and qualifications based
upon them. These standards are directly relevant to some of the industries listed
above, although the terminology might not be readily recognized outside the quarrying
industry. They are included in this booklet for reasons of their direct relevance.
2.10.3.
Occupational Standards have been developed for other industries where the
quarrying standards are not relevant e.g. for entertainment and engineering purposes.
The engineering NOSs have been drafted from a functional perspective and do not
relate to the roles of the personnel concerned. Further standards would need to be
developed to reflect other roles’ contributions to the functions listed.
2.10.4.
Many of the functions carried out to achieve a particular end have already been
described in other explosive substances and articles (ESA) booklets. Those functions
listed in KR10 deal with those not listed elsewhere. When considering the activities
carried out by people in the industries listed above, reference should also therefore be
made to the other KRs.
2.11.
KR 11 – Disposal
2.11.1.
KR 11 lists the occupational standards for the management and conduct of
disposal/demilitarisation of explosive substances and articles as part of the normal
procurement cycle. The ESA for disposal could be from R&D, manufacturing, storage,
T&E, maintenance phases its life, including becoming ‘shelf-life expired’.
2.11.2.
The standards include ‘simple’ and ‘complex’ disposal by detonation, burning,
deflagration, incineration, mechanical, chemical or biological breakdown, and also
disposal by ‘function as intended’.
2.11.3.
Tying the KR to possible qualifications and jobs:
2.11.4.
Explosive Substances and/or Articles Disposal Management Level 4.
2.11.4.1.

FUNCTIONAL MAP
3.
The complete functional map describes the high-level functions expected of people involved in a
particular key role. It provides the basis for the design of the much more detailed occupational
standards which would describe the skills and knowledge of an individual carrying out an activity
within the high-level function.
