No Carter & Carter employee is permitted to handle or use explosives or blasting materials.
All blasting and explosive work will be done by the use of outside contractors licensed and qualified to perform in the state in which the blasting and explosive work is to be performed.
All outside contractors and subcontractors engaged to perform blasting and explosive work must be required to provide all appropriate bonds and insurances as are necessary for proper indemnification of Carter & Carter throughout the performance of all blasting and explosive work. Confirm all such requirements with the Carter & Carter contract manager if necessary.
Smoking or open flames are not permitted within 50 ft. of explosives, detonator storage magazines, or other such materials and equipment.
When planning to perform any blasting near or around buildings or other structures, contact the Project Manager to determine the reasonable level of monitoring to confirm the existing and subsequent status of structures in the proximity of the blasting area. Such monitoring is critical to substantiating facts relating to subsequent claims by property owners for cracks or other damage alleged to have occurred as a result of the blasting activity.
