A Blaster Complies with Department of Transportation Regulations

I wish to preface my remarks with the warning that I, in no way profess to be an authority on the U. S. Department of Transportation, Hazardous Materials Regulations, 49CFR Parts 100-199, nor attempt to advise any one on the regulations or how they should conduct their business in relation to the regulations. I merely wish to convey my interpretations of the regulations and some of the procedures adopted by my company to comply with these regulations, with the hope that this information may help others to better understand the regulations and help them formulate their own procedures for compliance. I will cover nine problem areas and furnish sources of information for anyone concerned with explosives transportation.
