Applied Blast Engineering Course
Applied Blast Engineering Courses are offered for Underground Metal and Open Cut Mining applications. The courses are intended to give participants an advanced understanding of blasting principles. The agenda can be tailored tomeet specific interests and is designed to further enhance the skills and knowledge of experienced shotfirers, mining engineers and supervisors,involving a range of problem solving workshops and presentations. Attendance at a Safe & Efficient Blasting Course is highly recommended prior to attending an 'Applied Blast Engineering' Course. The courses are run over 1 or 2 days as specified.
Safe and Efficient Blasting Courses
These courses provide participants with principles that will assist them in managing or conducting blasting operations. The course is run over 2 days and cover all aspects of the blasting process in all mining markets.
Course Objectives
The program is designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of shotfirers, supervisory personnel, mining engineers,geologists and drill and blast foreman. The objective of this course is to provide paricipants with greater understanding of the requirements of drilling and blasting so that they are able to carry out their job responsibilities which may be "hands-on" planning or supervisory:
SAFELY - without risk of causing injury or damage.... and EFFICIENTLY - in ways that maximise blasting performance whilst optimising overall costs.
