The book lays out the organized approach used to test explosives, collect and examine samples, and ensure safety across coal mines, metal mines, tunnels, and quarries. It covers how tests are scheduled, how results are recorded, and how different tests inform decisions about use, handling, and storage of blasting supplies.
