Blasting, also known as shooting, is a controlled method of breaking rock or other materials using explosives. This technique is commonly used in mining, construction, and demolition to create space or access resources. The process involves drilling holes into the material, placing explosives, and detonating them to fragment the rock efficiently. Safety is a critical aspect of blasting operations. Professionals must follow strict regulations and guidelines to minimize risks to workers and the surrounding environment. Proper planning, including the use of protective measures and monitoring, ensures that blasting is conducted safely and effectively, reducing potential hazards associated with flying debris and vibrations.
