Description

This is the procedure through which a Category 1 powderman - blaster licence is granted. A Category 1 powderman - blaster is a natural person who possesses and uses explosives to charge and detonate drill holes exclusively in Category 1 works, i.e. works and activities carried out within mining and quarrying sites using explosives. The procedure starts with the submission by the interested party of an application for an examination for a Category 1 powderman - blaster licence to the competent Region, accompanied by the documents required as appropriate. The file is then forwarded by the local Regions to the competent department of the Ministry of the Environment for the scheduling and organisation of the examinations. Once the applicant has successfully taken the examinations, the competent Region is informed of the results of the examinations, with a view to granting the requested licence in the form of a booklet.
