Blaster Certification
License Description OSMRE issues certificates for blasting on Federal surface coal mine permits. The certification program includes experience, training, and examination components similar to many of the states. While a state program may focus on the specific blasting applications within its boundary, the OSMRE program requires diverse experience that covers all potential blasting applications and products across the nation. Therefore, the Federal certificate is a good surface mining credential for blasters anywhere in the United States.
