Type 2 magazine is best described as what?

• A. A permanent outdoor metal building for explosive storage
• B. A mobile and portable indoor and outdoor magazine for the storage of high explosive material
• C. A small lockbox for primers
• D. A temporary shelter for workers

Answer: (B)

Type 2 magazines are designed to be portable storage solutions for high explosive materials, usable both indoors and outdoors at the job site. Their key purpose is secure, temporary storage that can be moved as operations shift, providing weather protection and locked access while staying close to blasting activities. This fits the idea of a mobile, on-site magazine rather than a permanent structure or a small container for primers. A permanent outdoor metal building would be a Type 1 magazine, a tiny lockbox for primers isn’t appropriate for high explosives, and a temporary shelter for workers isn’t a storage magazine.
