5607.11 Security.

FC § 5607.11

Security shall be maintained at the job site in accordance with the site security plan pursuant to FC 5607.2.4. The blasting crew shall be trained in the safe storage, handling and use of explosives. During the time that holes are being loaded or are loaded with explosives, blasting agents or detonators, only authorized persons engaged in drilling and loading operations and department representatives shall be allowed at the blast site. The blaster may authorize other persons to enter the blast site but such persons shall remain under the personal supervision of the blaster at all times. When necessary to ensure that the blast area is and remains clear, the blaster shall post blasting contractor personnel with red flags at the perimeter of the blast area to prevent pedestrians and traffic from entering. The job site shall be barricaded, and the assistance of law enforcement personnel requested, as necessary, to ensure compliance with these requirements. Job site security shall be maintained until the post-blast procedures have been completed.
