7.—(1) No person shall take any detonator below ground in a mine except in a securely locked detonator case provided by the owner of the mine:

Provided that nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a primer cartridge fitted with a detonator being taken into a shaft in the course of being sunk for use therein.

(2) No person shall put a detonator into a detonator case if it would then contain a delay detonator as well as a detonator which is not a delay detonator.

(3) No person shall put a delay detonator into a detonator case unless the detonator is clearly marked with a number which indicates the period of delay.

(4) The manager of every mine in which detonators are used shall ensure that no detonator case is issued for use in the mine unless it is so constructed and maintained that when the case is closed it is impossible for any detonator or the leads of any detonator contained in the case to touch any metal part thereof which is exposed outside the case or is in contact with any other metal part so exposed.
