Overview
What this RAVS document does
Explosives work is tightly regulated and unforgiving of error. Hiring clients require a blasting and explosives answer because they need to see a contractor uses certified blasters, controls and stores explosives properly, and clears the area before a blast.
This document states your company's blasting and explosives program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: blaster certification, transport and storage of explosives, the blast plan and area control, misfire procedures, and worker training. Each point ties back to Part 33 of the Alberta OHS Code. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
