For Week 1 of Safety Month, ISEE focuses on the critical role of precise drilling in safe blasting. The article outlines how drilling mistakes like poor spacing, burden, or depth can lead to serious hazards. It stresses the value of detailed drill logs and strong driller/blaster communication to prevent issues before loading begins.
This month, ISEE is honoring our mission by sharing weekly safety spotlights focused on key elements that help keep operations safe, efficient, and responsible.
