The article outlines practical implications associated with the development and implementation of the REACH regulation. Following the introduction of this legal act, the system for managing the safety of chemical substances throughout the European Union has been harmonised and based on the principles of registration, evaluation and authorisation. These rules apply to all types of substances, preparations and products available on the market. Their importance in reducing the environmental impact of hazardous substances, including explosives, should be considered particularly important. The study inter alia analyses the advantages of applying the REACH system to mining explosives (dynamites and emulsion explosives), including in particular a comprehensive analysis of the environmental effects of the use of this type of substances, carried out according to unified criteria specified in the provisions of the regulation. On the other hand, the major drawback of the adopted regulations is the failure to take into account the conditions associated with the safety of the working environment in the discussed legal act.

W artykule przedstawiono praktyczne konsekwencje związane z opracowaniem i wdrożeniem regulacji rozporządzenia REACH. W następstwie wprowadzenia tego aktu prawnego nastąpiło ujednolicenie systemu zarządzania bezpieczeństwem substancji chemicznych na obszarze całej Unii Europejskiej i oparcie go na zasadach rejestracji, oceny i udzielania zezwoleń. Zasady te odnoszą się do wszelkiego rodzaju substancji, preparatów i wyrobów znajdujących się w obrocie handlowym. Za szczególnie istotne należy uznać ich znaczenie w zakresie ograniczenia środowiskowych oddziaływań substancji niebezpiecznych, do których zalicza się materiały wybuchowe. W ramach rozważań podjętych w pracy analizie poddano zalety zastosowania systemu REACH względem górniczych materiałów wybuchowych (dynamitów i materiałów wybuchowych emulsyjnych), do których zaliczyć należy w szczególności kompleksową analizę skutków środowiskowych zastosowania tego rodzaju substancji prowadzoną wedle ujednoliconych kryteriów ustalonych poprzez przepisy rozporządzenia. Z kolei na najistotniejszą wadę przyjętych regulacji uznać należy nie uwzględnienie w ramach omawianego aktu prawnego uwarunkowań związanych z bezpieczeństwem środowiska pracy.
