  • Operating Without Valid Licenses Businesses often make the mistake of operating without PESO licenses that have expired and thus suspended the business.
  • Wrong Classification of Explosives Misclassification of industrial, mining, or fireworks can result in the wrong approvals, making the process of licensing difficult.
  • Using Non-Approved Packaging Non-approved packaging is a serious violation of guidelines and using normal packaging like cardboard boxes is not allowed.
  • Porting Explosives to Non-Authorized Port Shipment through any port other than those approved by PESO leads to confiscation of the products.
  • Not Appointing Competent Persons The failure to appoint qualified individuals makes any operations within a company unlawful and dangerous.
  • Bad Records Keeping and Logging Documentation and logging of all events within a business are crucial for maintaining proper compliance.
