<p>Welcome to the Blaster Training page. To become a certified blaster at a coal mine a person must be trained, gain experience and pass an examination. Here you will find information on the technical and regulatory issues that a blaster must know to have a reasonable expectation of passing the examination. The requirements can be found at 30 CFR 850.13 Certification and Training of Blasters - Training. For coal mines, these requirements are the same for each state although individual states may have more requirements than specified here.</p>
