(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.
