Everyone working in the mining area is obliged to find out whether their work site is located in the area at risk of flying stones and rocks. 15 minutes before the confirmed blasting time, the workers and site machinery must be outside the area at risk of flying rocks. Each contractor is responsible for ensuring that their equipment and staff are at a safe distance. As the blasting draws near, the guards close down the roads to the area and inspect the blast area. All orders given by blasting work guards must obeyed immediately. Before the explosion, you will hear an intermittent whistle for 3 minutes, followed by a continuous whistle for 1 minute.
