DOT Federal Mandatory Training Requirements for Packaging related tasks in accordance with 49 CFR
172.704 must be complied with as follows.

The DOT regulates hazardous materials (explosives) for safe transportation over public roads. To ensure
these hazardous materials in their original packages can be safely transported, the DOT requires that
anyone that performs a “function-specific” task associated with erecting a package, packaging product into
a container, closing and sealing a container of hazardous materials, and offing a package of hazardous
materials for shipment be Trained, Tested, and Certified that each one of these people know exactly what is
to be done correctly.

This Function-Specific training must be done within 90 days of employment and every three years after.
Records must be kept inclusive of the preceding three years, for as long as that employee is employed as a
hazmat employee and for 90 days thereafter.

 sources of ignition; they may evolve noxious fumes.

Hygiene Measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Wash hands and other
 exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking and when leaving work.
 Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities
 Storage Conditions: Store in compliance with all Federal, State, and local regulations.

Electronic Detonators to Increase
 Underground Production Rates

 Value Added
GOALS REACHED
The mine was able to achieve its goal of expanding the mine
helping to increase production rates while reducing overall
production costs. The mine was pleased with the improvements
brought by the DigiShot Plus system and look forward to
continuing to use this system.

Benefits to the mine:
  Improved loading efficiency due to the tough down-line
 wire minimizing breaks, significantly improving
 fragmentation and reducing the need to re-blast
 oversize resulting in a cost reduction of around 5% in
 production blasting
  Ability to allow much larger blasts reducing the need for
 multiple blasts allowing the mine to benefit from
 economies of scale reducing costs by 10–15% in
 production blasting
  Simple tie-in and connection notably reducing set-up
 time by 5–10% in production blasting

General: Hot solution will cause thermal tissue damage. Dried salt or vapors may cause irritation, redness and tearing.
May cause eye irritation. Decomposition of AN solution at high temperatures produces highly toxic Nitrogen Oxides (NOX).
High level exposure to NOX can cause serious injury or death. Chronic exposure to NOX can produce respiratory and/or

NONEL General Application Instructions

 Primer Assemblies
 NONEL products can be used with all cast boosters, dynamites and cap-sensitive
 explosives.

 For cast boosters, thread the NONEL unit
 (of appropriate length) through the cord well
 of the cap primer and insert detonator fully
 into the cap well (Figure 56).

 A lways be sure that the base
 charge of the detonator is cen-
 tered in the primer.
 Figure 56 - NONEL / booster assembly.

 For soft package primers, use a nonsparking powder punch to punch a hole in
 the primer deep enough for the entire detonator. Fully insert the detonator into
 the cartridge, then half-hitch or tape the lead around the cartridge (Figure 57).

 For dynamite (and other paper cartridge
 primers), either tape the shock tube lead
 to the primer or punch a hole, using a non-
 sparking tool, diagonally starting at the top
 and exiting the side. Thread the detonator
 through this hole and insert fully into the car-
 tridge (Figure 58).

Extinguishing Media
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water only or water spray. Do not attempt to smother. Do not use salt water, dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, steam or foam. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or regular foam. Special Hazards Arising From the Substance or Mixture
Fire Hazard: May intensify fire; oxidizer. Will decompose if exposed to excessive heat, and in addition, will accelerate the
burning of other combustibles, resulting in more rapid spread of fire. Explosion Hazard: Heat may build pressure, rupturing closed containers, spreading fire and increasing risk of burns and
injuries. Smothering, contact with organic material, or combustible material may cause an explosive situation. Reactivity: May intensify fire; oxidizer. May accelerate the burning of other combustible materials. Smothering, contact
with organic material, or combustible material may cause an explosive situation. Advice for Firefighters
Precautionary Measures Fire: Hot AN solution may also ignite combustibles such as wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc. It
will support and increase the rate of combustion in the presence of flammable or combustible materials even in the
absence of oxygen. As it is an oxidizer, fires involving AN cannot be extinguished by conventional firefighting methods
