fatal skin burns can occur with necrosis and scarring. Eye Contact: Will produce severe, immediate damage and may result in permanent damage or loss. Ingestion: Will cause immediate irritation, chemical burns to mouth and throat, and may cause hemorrhaging, necrosis
and perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. Chronic Symptoms: None expected under normal conditions of use. Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
If exposed, seek immediate medical attention. If exposure to Nitric Acid vapor occurs, professional medical observation
should continue for 24 - 48 hours after exposure. Delayed reactions may cause pulmonary edema.

Explosive Product Notice: PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS IN THE USE OF EXPLOSIVES - The prevention of
accidents in the use of explosives is a result of careful planning and observance of the best-known practices. The
explosives user must remember that he is dealing with a powerful force and that various devices and methods have been
developed to assist him in directing this force. He should realize that this force, if misdirected, may either kill or injure both
him and his fellow workers.
WARNING - All explosives are dangerous and must be carefully handled and used following approved safety procedures
either by or under the direction of competent, experienced persons in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and
local laws, regulations, or ordinances. If you have any questions or doubts as to how to use any explosive product, DO
NOT USE IT before consulting with your supervisor, or the manufacturer, if you do not have a supervisor. If your
supervisor has any questions or doubts, he should consult the manufacturer before use.

Our company Value , Zero Harm for Everyone Everywhere , reflects our commitment to the highest standards of safety, ensuring the well-being of our people, both at work and at home.

CORESafety Certification

Dyno Nobel is the first supplier to the mining industry to receive the National Mining Association (NMA) independent certification, a voluntary safety and health initiative, under its CORESafety system. Dyno Nobel’s #1 priority is Zero Harm for Everyone. Everywhere. We build upon existing standards, evolve to solve ever-changing industry challenges and continue to deliver the highest level of safety expertise.

Zero Harm

All accidents are preventable.  Injuries, illnesses and environmental damage are not an inevitable consequence of conducting business.

Zero Harm means zero recordable occupational illness, injuries, fatalities, preventable transportation incidents, environmental releases and process events.  All employees and contractors, vendors and business partners are held to this Value.

We live this Value by:

Promoting safe behaviors

Training, and following safety systems and procedures

Identifying and controlling hazards

Looking after ourselves and each other

Safety is personal.  At Dyno Nobel, we have two ways to identify those conditions and practices that may impact our own safety and safety of those working around us.

Detonating Cord Cut-off

 • All detonating cord connections must be pulled tight, so that the two lines will
 be in positive contact. Also, it is import to keep right angles at each
 detonating cord connection.
 • “Angle” cut-off failures are caused by the explosive force (or fragment) of the
 detonating cord severing the receptor cord before the detonation wave has
 initiated the receptor cord at the point of connection.
 • Make sure all detonating cord lines are not looped or kinked. Avoid crossing
 over detonating cord. If a detonating cord does not have adequate surface
 area contact it may sever the other cord not initiate it.

 A lways make sure there are no
 loops or kinks in any detonating
 cord lines to avoid cut-offs. Cut-offs
 may cause misfires.

 A lways make shock tube and
 detonating cord connections at
 right angles to avoid the possibil-
 ity of cut-offs. Cut-offs may cause
 misfires.

 Figure 125 - Center cord was returned by a customer and shows the typical signs
 associated with an “Angle” or “Cross Talk” cut-off.
 Right and left samples were manufactured with a void in the explosive core to
 create an in-line failure. This test was designed to show the physical differences
 between an in-line failure and cord cut-off.
