A Shotfirers Assistant is a professional who works in the mining industry, helping to oversee operations related to explosives. The job requires an individual with strong communication skills, knowledge of safety protocols, and the ability to work independently or as part of a team. As an assistant shot firer, some of your duties may include preparing explosives for blasting operations, maintaining accurate records of all blasting activities, and helping to coordinate between different departments involved in the mining process.
You will also be responsible for ensuring that safety measures are properly followed before and after blasts. This includes inspecting drill sites for debris prior to drilling and checking blast holes to ensure they are correctly loaded with explosives. After blasting is complete, you will be required to take note of any damage caused by the detonation and report it back to management.
