				it is impossible to detonate the unexploded charge by the insertion of a fresh
				additional primer. This work shall be done by the blaster.

				and fuse, all persons shall remain away from the charge for at least 1 hour. If
				electric blasting caps are used and a misfire occurs, this waiting period may

				leading wire connections in electrical firing shall fire the shot. All
				connections shall be made from bore hole back to the source of firing current,
				and the leading wires shall remain shorted and not be connected to the blasting

				blast is fired, a loud warning signal shall be given by the blaster, who has
				made certain that all surplus explosives are in a place, all persons and
				vehicles are at a safe distance or under sufficient cover, and that an adequate
