📚About the Program

Fascinated by the explosives industry? Do you like to work outdoors, and in challenging environments? If so, you may be interested in exploring a career as a blaster. With our well-developed connections with industry and our specialized resources and drilling compound, students get the hands-on training necessary for their career in blasting. Blasters fill blast holes with explosives and detonate them to dislodge coal, ore, rock, or aggregate, or to demolish structures. Blasters are employed by construction, mining, and drilling and blasting companies, as well as in the special effects industry. You will focus on three types of explosive cuts, and incorporate a wide range of skills in science, mathematics, and communications. Courses include explosives, blasthole drilling, blasting theory, blast design, geology, safety and accident prevention, and environmental issues. You will spend much of your time in labs, field classes and field assignments, and refining your skills in our state-of-the-art drilling and blasting training centre. Show less
