Haw. Code R. § 19-42-107 - Nitrate of soda, nitrate of ammonia, sulphur, or other similar materials
(a) No nitrate of soda, nitrate of ammonia,
sulphur, or other similar material shall be stored or left upon any wharf for
more than four hours unless packed in sound and non-leaking containers. Such
material shall be under the continuous care of a competent guard satisfactory
to the harbor master until removed. The cost of such guard shall not be borne
by the department.
(b) Masters,
owners, or agents of vessels or consignees of cargoes of nitrate of soda,
sulphur, or other similar materials during the process of loading, unloading,
and removing such cargoes, must at all times keep the wharf swept clean and
free of such materials.
(c) If
loose nitrate of soda, sulphur, or other similar material is to be discharged
onto or loaded from any wharf or structure at any harbor it shall be placed
directly into the carrier and immediately removed. A protective device approved
by the harbor master shall be used during the period of loading or unloading to
prevent the material being handled from falling upon the wharf
structure.
(d) During the process
of handling nitrate of soda, sulphur, or other similar material on any wharf at
any harbor under control of the department it shall be obligatory on the part
of the master, owners, or agents of a vessel to provide containers of not less
than fifty gallons capacity filled with a solution of nitrate of soda and water
at distances of not more than fifty feet apart, with suitable buckets placed
alongside each container, for the purpose of fighting any fire which may occur
in such cargo.
