Explosives transported on the road requires an explosives licence in NSW.

Explosives licences are administered by SafeWork NSW under the NSW Explosives Regulation. The regulation provides for the licensing of corporations or individuals who wish to transport explosives and/or security sensitive dangerous substances (SSDS).

Under the NSW Explosives Act, if the NSW Explosives Regulation requires a licensed person to handle explosives and explosives precursors, it is an offence for an unlicensed person to handle such material.

For additional information about applying for a transport explosives and/or SSDS licence, contact SafeWork NSW on 13 10 50 or visit the website.
