Under which condition can a blaster's license be suspended?

• A. The blaster has not complied with safety requirements or division rules
• B. The blaster fails to submit a weekly report
• C. The blaster's vehicle is parked off-site
• D. The blaster uses noncertified primers

Answer: (A)

Licensing suspensions are about enforcing safe blasting practices. The clearest reason a blaster’s license can be suspended is failing to meet safety requirements or to follow division rules. When these safety standards aren’t complied with, regulators must step in to prevent harm and keep operations within approved practices. Failing to submit a weekly report is an administrative obligation and may carry penalties, but it’s not the explicit ground for suspending a license in this rule. Parking a vehicle off-site doesn’t affect licensure. Using noncertified primers is a safety violation, but the emphasis here is on not complying with safety requirements or division rules in a broader sense, which is why not meeting those safety-related requirements or rules is the correct basis for suspension.
