A second class magazine may be used to store no more than how many pounds of explosives?

• A. 50 pounds
• B. 100 pounds
• C. 500 pounds
• D. 1000 pounds

Answer: (B)

Second class magazines are small on-site storage units designed to hold limited quantities of explosives to keep risk manageable and handling practical at the job site. The maximum you can store in a second class magazine is 100 pounds. If more than that is needed, a larger, first class magazine or other approved bulk storage must be used, built to higher standards and subject to stricter rules. So 100 pounds is the upper limit for this type of magazine; 50 pounds is allowed but not the maximum, while 500 or 1000 pounds would require a different magazine class.
