When answering this question, it's important to demonstrate your ability to stay calm and think clearly in high-pressure situations. Start by explaining the standard safety protocols you follow to minimize the risk of unexpected issues. Then, provide a specific example of a time when you encountered an unexpected issue or emergency during a blasting operation. Describe the steps you took to address the situation, emphasizing your quick thinking, adherence to safety procedures, and effective communication with your team. For example:
"In one instance, we encountered an unexpected equipment malfunction just before a scheduled blast. I immediately halted the operation and ensured that all team members were at a safe distance. I then communicated the issue to my supervisor and worked with the maintenance team to quickly resolve the problem. Once the equipment was fixed, I conducted a thorough safety check before resuming the operation. This experience reinforced the importance of staying vigilant and prepared for any unexpected issues."
