What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to design and carry out safe, effective bench blasts using bulk ANFO. You will explore explosive characteristics, charge calculations, burden and spacing, selection of hole diameter and depth, and timing for non-electric initiation. Learn to control vibration, airblast, and flyrock, utilise rock mass data for better fragmentation, and adhere to procedures for planning, communication, emergency handling, and regulatory standards.
