A BC Mines Seismic Endoresment allows you to set off charges in relation to exploration activities: handle and assist with blast preparation, perform seismic blasts and single-series electric blasts.

The certification process includes two online exams (one regulatory, one technical) that you must pass before scheduling a face-to-face interview. You have three attempts to pass each exam and you must pass the regulatory exam before taking the technical exam. Once you pass both exams, you'll set up a face-to-face interview with a Mine Inspector. You must provide the following documents: a completed and signed Application for BC Mines Blaster Certification, Proof of ID, and a criminal record check.

The online component provides:

• An overview of all BC Mines Blaster Certifications.
• Access to supporting resources including videos about safety and blasting on BC Mines sites (e.g., magazines, care and handling of explosives, guarding, and transportation safety).
• Access to relevant exam(s).
• Access to a BC Mines Application Form and information on how to set up a face-to-face interview with a Mine Inspector, including the documentation you're required to bring with you.
