A specially designed portable source of electrical energy used to fire electric detonators.

Exel™ Connectadet™ Detonators are signal tube based detonators designed to control the millisecond delay sequence from hole to hole, across the surface of a blast.

The presence of an alert and authorised person or the continuous monitoring by video or electronic surveillance.

CPAN is chemically pure ammonium nitrate used for the manufacture of emulsion.

PPAN is porous prilled ammonium nitrate used for doping emulsion blends and the manufacture of ANFO.
PPAN contains voids that reduce the density to around 0.8

Crank lines are direction lines marked on the backs and floor to give guidance to the jumbo operator when turning corners.

Creating the pit left by an explosion.

A credible evacuation scenario is one with a high likelihood that within 45 minutes of the evacuation being initiated there is no person in a building inside Protected Works Class B distance and no person in the open inside Protected Works Class A distance. (Note that 45 minutes is the worst case – the target evacuation timeframe is 30 minutes.) Whether evacuation is credible can only be assessed on a site-specific basis. Refer Appendix D.

Critical Density is defined for mechanically sensitised explosives.

This is the density above which detonation fails. The failure is due to insufficient gas bubble to create hot spots when impacted by a shock wave.
