Who must be knowledgeable of all hazards involved in the explosive operations, convey emergency procedures, and maintain strict housekeeping standards?

• A. Operators
• B. Supervisors
• C. Commanders
• D. Safety Inspectors

Answer: (B)

The person in charge of the work site and the crew must know all hazards, pass along emergency procedures, and enforce strict housekeeping. Supervisors oversee day-to-day operations, brief the team on hazards, ensure emergency steps are understood and practiced, and maintain clean, organized work areas to prevent accidents. Operators perform the tasks under their supervision, but the comprehensive responsibility for hazard awareness, emergency communication, and housekeeping falls to the supervisor. Commanders set policy and safety inspectors assess compliance, but the on-site duties described align most with the supervisor’s role.
