    Procedure For Loading of Blast Hole AND Safety Precautions Followed

    Uploaded by

    Waqar Ahmad
    1. This document outlines safety procedures for loading blast holes with explosives, including only allowing qualified trained individuals over age 21, using non-sparking equipment, transporting detonators separately, checking holes are clear before loading, and properly securing detonators inside explosive cartridges. 2. Precautions are described such as maintaining distance between people carrying explosives and detonators, limiting the amount carried, using protective clothing, and not charging holes during thunderstorms. 3. Potential causes of misfires are listed as improper cartridge placement, detonation gas escape due to geology, loose or wrong detonator placement, and ruptured tubes from forceful tamping.

    PROCEDURE FOR LOADING OF

    BLAST HOLE

    AND

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOLLOWED


    2

    OBJECTIVE

    • Optimal Use of Commercial Explosives.

    • Safety of Personnel and Equipment

    • Environmental Protection

    • Correct Loading

    • Prevention of Accidents, Misfires and Low/Weak


    Energy Shots.
    3

    GENERAL INFORMATION

    • Coordination of all activities will be under


    direction of one designated individual, or
    representative designated by him.

    • Only qualified y trained and authorized persons


    who are at least 21 years of age may load / handle
    explosives.

    • All pre-loaders must be under continuous


    supervision.

    • All explosive handlers ,must use high visible and


    antistatic turbans/caps, and use gloves
    4

    EQUIPMENT USED AT THE TIME OF


    LOADING
    • Non sparking loading poles (Aluminum or Wood with
    brass Joints).

    • One hole depth checker with non ferrous weight.

    • A bamboo or wooden pole, which must be marked at


    correct hole depth.

    • Brass (Non Ferrous spike)

    • Water resistant adhesive tape.

    • Ohmmeter (Approved for blasting operation)

    • Wire cutter & Red Flags.


    5

    CARRYING EXPLOSIVES

    • Only approved X-Vans, containers/bags can be


    used.

    • No person shall carry match,mobile phones, radio


    transmitter, quartz watches –or-any type of
    electronic equipment.

    • Detonators will be carried separately from


    explosives.

    • Personal carrying explosives will remain at least


    15 Mtr from person carrying detonators; and all
    other persons must be at least 30 Mtr away.
    6

    CARRYING EXPLOSIVES

    • Not more than 15 Kgs of explosives may be


    carried by one person.

    • Ensure use of antistatic uniform / shoes.

    • Ensure that each team has first aid kit.


    7

    PREPARING THE CHARGES

    • Before charging holes must be checked using loading


    poles,inrespect of depth and clearance.

    • First check the continuity of electric detonators.

    • Detonators must be securely placed in explosive cartridge


    by using brass/wooden spike to make hole ; by ensuring
    to apply minimum steady force.

    • Detonators must be completely located inside the charge


    with upward direction.

    • There must be no kinks or knots in the wires.

    • Use proper water resistant adhesive tape.


    8

    PREPARING THE CHARGES

    • Never charge a drill hole until it has cooled down.

    • Never charge a drill hole, by using electric


    initiation during thunder storms/lightening.

    • In case of simultaneous charging / drilling of


    holes maintain at least a safe distance of one hole
    depth.

    • Never strike a primed cartridge.


    9

    PREPARING THE CHARGES

    • Do not use excessive force to ram the charge


    down the hole if stuck. Use steady push only.

    • No part of body except hands is to be placed


    directly over the holes, during charging.

    • Use sand/gravel to fill and tamp the holes.

    • Retest the detonator circuit after testing, and leg


    wires must be shunted together and burry the
    shunted portion.
    10

    POSSIBLE REASONS OF MISFIRE / WEAK


    SHOTS

    • Wrong desired position of cartridge in holes at the


    time of blast.
    • Escape of detonation gases in underground
    cracks due to varying geology.
    • Wrong / Loose placement of detonator in
    explosive cartridge, which will not fire explosive
    due to more gap, as detonator has to be at least
    75% with in explosive column.
    • Rupturing of tubes due to forceful tamping to
    clear the blocked holes.
