Which item records the location of holes not loaded or non-typical loads?

• A. Location of holes not loaded or non-typical loads
• B. Max weight of explosives per delay
• C. Direction to structure
• D. Type/height of stemming

Answer: (A)

The thing being tested is how a blasting plan tracks irregularities in hole loading. Recording the location of holes that are not loaded or have non-typical loads ensures everyone involved knows exactly where those unusual holes are in the pattern. This keeps the firing sequence and safety precautions correct, because those holes may need to be treated differently—avoiding detonation in the standard pattern or adjusting timing so the blast energy behaves as intended. Without this record, there’s a higher risk of misfires or unintended movement of material. Other items may cover charge limits, directions to structures, or stemming details, but they don’t specifically capture where irregular or empty holes are located.
