Ammonium Nitrate Safety & Security

The Ammonium Nitrate Code of Practice provides a tool for operators of ammonium nitrate storage and handling facilitites to assess and manage their security risks. The code was developed in close partnership with the Explosives Regulatory Division of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), and is consistent with the Divison’s Restricted Components Regulations.
