I

In Situ

In its original position or place.

Entry link: In Situ

Incompatible

Relates to goods which when mixed or otherwise brought into contact with each other, are likely to interact and increase risk because of the interaction.

Entry link: Incompatible

Inhibited Emulsion

Emulsion that has been rendered less sensitive to reactive ground through the addition of inhibiting chemical.
Inhibited explosives are generally less energetic than standard products.

Entry link: Inhibited Emulsion

Initiating Systems

Blasting components which provide the transmission of signal, control of delay timing and the initial explosive energy within the blast hole.

Entry link: Initiating Systems

Initiation Plan

Initiation plan

Hard copy or electronic plan showing all the blast hole positions and the initiation system with all connections and products specified.
The initiation plan may also show the toe position where multiple angle holes are loaded as well as the blast hole firing times.

BlastPlan is the premier initiation design application available. www.blastplan.com.au

Entry link: Initiation Plan

Initiation Point

The location of the first hole in a blast to fire. Also the point at which the lead in line is attached to the pattern.

Entry link: Initiation Point

Inter-row Timing

Is the delay time between rows.

Entry link: Inter-row Timing

Intra-row Timing

Is the delay time between holes within a row.

Entry link: Intra-row Timing

J

J Clip

The plastic clip on a nonelectric detonator to enable conneciton to detonating cord.

J Clip

Job Hazard Analysis

Job safety analysis (JSA), also known as job hazard analysis (JHA), is a safety management tool in which the risks or hazards of a specific job in the workplace are identified, and then measures to eliminate or control those hazards are determined and implemented.

The JSA process begins with identification of the potential hazards or risks associated with a particular job. Once the hazards are understood, the consequences of those hazards are then identified, followed by control measures to eliminate or mitigate the hazards.

The end result of a JSA is an easy to understand document that can be shared with workers as part of pre-job and safety meetings, and/or included as part of worker job descriptions. The JSA process can be used to help refine safe work procedures described in safety manuals or standard operating procedures, and the JSA document can serve as a useful tool in training new employees.
