Guide for Using, Storing, and Transporting Explosives and Blasting Materials

摘要

The guide for Forest Service Blaster Examiners and Blasters presents minimumrequirements for using, storing, and transporting explosives and blasting materials. These requirements are essential to insure that blasting activities are accomplished safely and to prevent theft of explosive materials. The guide consolidates information needed to conduct normal Forest Service operations into one guide. It is not intended to be all inclusive. There are many other supporting documents that should be referred to by Forest Service blasters. Information for this guide was gathered from industry handbooks, other literature, The Institute of Makers of Explosive publications, Federal regulations, and the Blasters' Handbook, revised November 1989, by Austin A. Dickinson, Pacific NW Regional Blaster Examiner (Retired).
