BLASTING OPERATIONS & FRAGMENTATION CONTROL

Created by ChecklistGuro (https://checklistguro.com)

[ ] Retrieve Site Geological Data: Fetch existing borehole and rock density data from the Geological Data Model to determine fragmentation requirements.
[ ] Get Blast Pattern Design: Retrieve the predefined drilling pattern and burden/spacing parameters from the Blast Design entry.
[ ] Calculate Powder Factor: Calculate the ratio of explosive mass to the volume of rock to be fragmented (kg/m³).
[ ] Calculate Maximum Instantaneous Charge (MIC): Calculate the allowed charge weight per delay to comply with vibration safety limits.
[ ] Create Blast Plan Entry: Generate a new Blast Plan record containing the calculated parameters, pattern geometry, and explosive types.
[ ] Assign Drilling Task: Create a task for the Drilling Supervisor to execute the pattern according to the retrieved design.
[ ] Assign Loading & Stemming Task: Create a task for the Blasting Crew to perform hole charging and stemming.
[ ] Update Drill Log with Actuals: Update the Blast Plan entry with actual drilling depths and any deviations encountered during drilling.
[ ] Retrieve Explosive Inventory: Check available emulsion or ANFO stock levels in the Inventory Data Model.
[ ] Update Explosive Usage: Subtract the quantity of explosives used from the Inventory Data Model.
[ ] Assign Blasting Technician: Assign the final detonation and firing task to the certified Blaster-in-Charge.
[ ] Notify Site Safety Officer: Send an email notification to the Safety Officer regarding the scheduled blast time and exclusion zone setup.
[ ] Blast Warning Alert: Send an SMS alert to all site personnel in the vicinity to clear the blast area.
[ ] Create Fragmentation Analysis Entry: Create a new entry to record post-blast fragmentation results (e.g., % of oversize, mean fragment size).
[ ] Calculate Average Fragmentation Size: Aggregate all recent fragmentation analysis entries to find the average particle size trend.
[ ] Generate Post-Blast Performance Report: Generate a comprehensive report comparing the planned powder factor vs. actual fragmentation results.
[ ] Update Blast Performance Score: Update the master Blast Log with a quality score based on the fragmentation analysis.
