The development of safe working
habits is critical for all blasting operations. There is not a
large margin for error in blasting operations. Mistakes with
safety can lead to injury or death to the blaster, his crew, or
the general public. It is essential that blasters develop a
professional attitude regarding safety, and that they set high
standards for his crew to follow. Safe working habits are a
state of mind, and blasters must develop and follow procedures
and working methods that do not compromise safety. Blasters must
carefully check each detail to ensure all is safe as possible.
Allowing production pressures to take precedence over safety can
lead to disaster. "SAFETY COMES FIRST" should be
everyone’s motto. eblasting.com publishes material that will
keep you alert to safety issues. Our goal is for all blasters to
develop safe working habits, and they should review these
findings at their safety meetings each week.
Safety is the most important
consideration when handling, storing, using, and transporting
explosive products. Manufactures have done a lot to make its’
explosive products as safe as possible. The simple fact is that
all explosives are made to do one thing only,
"EXPLODE". Everyone that handles, uses and transports
explosives must do so with the utmost care and in a manner
consistent with the manufactures recommended safe practices.
