| shotfirer | Occupational skill for the role 'shotfirer' (also: explosives technician, shot firer, demolition operative, shot-firer, blast crew operator, shotfirers). Use when the user asks for typical shotfirer work such as: Examine blast areas to determine amounts and kinds of explosive charges needed and to ensure that safety laws are observed.; Tie specified lengths of delaying fuses into patterns in order to time sequences of explosions.; Place safety cones around blast areas to alert other workers of danger zones, and signal workers as necessary to ensure that they clear blast sites prior to explosions. |
Shotfirer
Shotfirers set up and safely detonate explosives at a site in order to blast and break up in situ material.
Core workflow
- Examine blast areas to determine amounts and kinds of explosive charges needed and to ensure that safety laws are observed.
- Tie specified lengths of delaying fuses into patterns in order to time sequences of explosions.
- Place safety cones around blast areas to alert other workers of danger zones, and signal workers as necessary to ensure that they clear blast sites prior to explosions.
- Place explosive charges in holes or other spots; then detonate explosives to demolish structures or to loosen, remove, or displace earth, rock, or other materials.
- Insert, pack, and pour explosives, such as dynamite, ammonium nitrate, black powder, or slurries into blast holes; then shovel drill cuttings, admit water into boreholes, and tamp material to compact charges.
- Mark patterns, locations, and depths of charge holes for drilling, and issue drilling instructions.
- Compile and keep gun and explosives records in compliance with local and federal laws.
- Measure depths of drilled blast holes, using weighted tape measures.
