Online Practical Blasting Fundamentals Level I covers a wide range of blasting topics perfect for getting a better understanding of blasting and to broaden your knowledge in the many different avenues of the blasting world.
Apply blasting safety principles including personnel training requirements, proper handling of blasting materials and equipment, and correct use of blasting procedures and methods in field operationsAnalyze geological effects on blasting including rock properties, rock structure and classification, and the factors that influence rock breakage by explosivesApply field controls and drilling accuracy practices including proper hole loading procedures, shot setup, and detonation methods for surface and underground blasting operationsIdentify and select explosives products and blasting agents based on explosive types, properties, and selection criteria for specific blasting applicationsSelect and apply initiation systems including electric and nonelectric detonators, detonating cord, primers, and boosters using proper methods and techniques for safe and effective blast initiationDesign blasts using basic blasting theory, delay patterns, timing considerations, and design guides to achieve desired fragmentation and minimize unintended effectsPredict and manage ground vibration and air overpressure by applying propagation and decay concepts, scaling data, charge per delay calculations, and reporting protocols while addressing structural effects, human response, and regulatory and public relations requirementsInterpret and comply with explosives regulations including federal, state, and international requirements by understanding the origin, intent, and jurisdiction of regulatory agencies and standard-setting organizations governing explosives use and storage
