Deploy this template before every production blast to satisfy regulatory compliance and operational safety requirements.
This template produces a complete statutory blast plan covering design, safety controls, and post-blast inspection protocols.
Most blast plans fail by omitting environmental limits or skipping documented misfire procedures under mining regulations.

Rock Type: Magnetite ore with waste contact
Shotfirer: L. Ramirez
Estimated Volume: 18,400 bcm
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Hole diameter | 165 mm |
| Burden | 4.2 m |
| Spacing | 4.8 m |
| Hole depth | 11.5 m |
| Stemming | 3.2 m |
Clear all personnel and equipment within 500 m. Sentries posted at Ramp E, Crusher Road, and Dewatering Pad.
Use electronic timing to limit vibration at the workshop to 4 mm/s PPV. Wet stemming required for dust reduction.
Shotfirer conducts 30-minute fume clearance wait, checks for misfires, and gives all-clear only after muckpile inspection.
