storms, or other sources of extraneous 

electricity. The employer must certify 

and maintain a record of alternative 

provisions made to adequately prevent 

any premature firing of electric firing of 

electric blasting caps. 

Section 1926.900(o)—Employers must 

notify the operators and/or owners of

structures when blasting operations will 

take place in proximity to those lines, 

services, or structures. 

Section 1926.903(d)—The employer 

must notify the hoist operator prior to 

transporting explosives or blasting 

agents in a shaft conveyance. 

Section 1926.903(e)—Employers must 

perform weekly inspections on the 

electrical system of trucks used for 

underground transportation of 

explosives. The weekly inspection is to 

detect any failure in the system which 

would constitute an electrical hazard. 

The most recent certification of 

inspection must be maintained and 

must include the date of inspection, a 

serial number or other identifier of the 

truck inspected, and the signature of the 

person performing the inspection. 

Section 1926.905(t)—Under

and blasting supplies used in a blast. In 

addition, the employer must also 

maintain a running inventory of all 

explosives and blasting agent stored on 

the operation. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

Agency’s functions, including whether 

the information is useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions

the approval of the information 

collection requirements necessitated by 

29 CFR part 1926, subpart U—Blasting 

Operations and the Use of Explosives.
