Blasting Area Safety (US)
This web-based Blasting Area Safety course is designed to educate you on the safety challenges encountered when working in or around a blasting area
The Blasting Area Safety course is aimed at raising awareness of the activities that transpire in a blasting area while also outlining the steps of a typical blasting sequence. This course is not intended for blasters and their teams, but for other staff who may be in proximity to a blasting site. The dangers of the site, with a particular focus on flyrock – any material that travels outside the designated blast area boundaries, are examined. The rest of the Blasting Area Safety course talks about the precautions taken by the blaster-in-charge and the blasting crew, as well as measures that should be taken by non-blasting staff.
This Blasting Area Safety online course is constructed to provide fundamental information about operating in and around a blasting area.
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Define key terminology used in blasting
- Summarize crucial information about flyrock and other site risks linked to blasting
- Identify general and personal measures that minimize risks associated with blasting areas
This Blasting Area Safety online course delves into the following subjects:
