Blasting vibration limits for quarries and civil construction projects
In most civil construction blasting projects and some quarry sites, where measurement is conducted in the near field (ie the distance to the monitor is comparable to the blast dimensions), a good blast designer can use advanced blasting techniques to channel vibration frequencies above 35Hz and thus the limit of 25mm/s would apply.

Blasting precautions you must take
When blasting, there are at least two major safety concerns. One is premature detonation. The other is flyrock. Premature detonation involves an unplanned detonation during the loading or tying-in procedures, or while awaiting scheduled firing. Explosives require heat or shock energy to begin the detonation process.
