OBJECTIVE & SCOPE
The basics of explosives, their safe handling and use is the PRIMARY objective of this course - it WILL
NOT CERTIFY anyone to handle and operate with explosives- it is designed to compliment the requirements each facility may have to qualify
their people to use Explosives, Explosive Devices and Guns.
Certification to handle explosives
should be a course designed around intensive classroom and hands-on field training- for each facilities specific needs.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
There are no prerequisites for this fcourse, or any course offered by Baldini Resource Associates, Inc..
this course is designed for the Technician or Ordnance Operator who does their own testing and/or
the Engineer/Scientist who directs and/or designs the experimental test.
