From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As far as the police are concerned under CoER 1991 they are granted powers by Regulation 15 (Enforcement). The guidance for reg 15 states that enforcement of most the regulations is by the chief officer of police. Licensed factories, magazines and mines are the responsibility of HSE. Enforcement by the police is by officers appointed as inspectors for this purpose under section 19 of the HSW act 1974. These officers are given powers under section 20 of the 1974 Act, including entry powers, to carry out their duties under the regulations. However, such an officer will not normally enforce the power of entry into domestic premises where explosives are kept for private use, except in a situation which, in his opinion, is or may be dangerous, or where there is reason to believe there is a contravention of the regulations. However, where gunpowder, or other propellant for small arms requiring an explosive certificate, is kept in domestic premises, an inspection of security arrangements may be necessary.
