This planned inspection checklist supports safe, compliant drilling and blasting operations. It guides supervisors, safety representatives, and crews through checks for drill benches and wall conditions, correct drill pattern delineation, windrows and separation from other activities, dust control, hole plugging and dipping, and housekeeping. It includes explosives transport and storage on the bench, separation of detonators, secure containers, and quality control. Loading sections cover adherence to the load plan and recording explosives per hole. Firing controls include notice boards, pre-blast reviews, blast control plans, guarded accesses, audible signals, misfire reporting, and post-blast reviews. Magazine inspections are referenced via DM-OC-(OC)-F312. Non-conformances are logged and closed in InControl, with sign-off for accountability.

DNAP Blasting Audit Checklist
Use this DNAP Blasting Audit to assess drilling and blasting activities across the full mine cycle. The checklist covers safety preparation, PPE, site emergency readiness, drilling plans and QA, explosives handling, on-site transport, licensed storage magazines, priming, charging, stemming, tie-in, and firing procedures. It also guides re-entry, misfire management, and post-blast reporting. Advanced sections review blast design processes, results and fragmentation, wall control, vibration and airblast limits, and downstream impacts on crushing, milling, and recovery. Improve compliance, reduce risk, and optimize blast performance.
