A historical look at Canada’s early efforts to regulate explosives

This collection documents a 1910 conference where government officials and industry leaders debated how to regulate the manufacture, importation, and testing of explosives in Canada. It records recommendations from Captain Desborough, drawn from English practice, and discussions about licensing, factory safety, and cross‑jurisdictional authority.

Two meetings, two days of testimony, and a shared aim: safer mines and more reliable explosives. The proceedings cover proposed licensing principles, factory spacing, building construction, testing methods, and the need for intergovernmental cooperation to ensure laws work in practice.

A careful record of early 20th‑century policy ideas for readers interested in industrial safety, mining regulation, and the history of explosives legislation. Ideal for history enthusiasts and professionals exploring how Canada sought to balance industry needs with public safety.
