Regulation 2

No person shall fire a shot in any mine other than a person appointed to be a shot firer by the manager of that mine (any person so appointed being hereinafter referred to as a “shot firer”):

Provided that any person appointed by the manager to fire shots in the mine by means of safety fuse other than safety fuse capped with a detonator (hereinafter referred to as a “person appointed to fire shots by fuse”) may do so by that means.

No shot firer shall fire a shot in any mine by means of a delay detonator or in a round of more than six shots unless he is appointed so to do by the manager, and no shot firer shall be so appointed unless he has during not less than five shifts been employed in connection with the firing of such shots under the close personal supervision of a shot firer authorised to fire such shots who was not then supervising any other person for the purposes of this paragraph. The manager shall include a record of any such appointment in the record of the appointment of that shot firer kept in pursuance of section one hundred and thirty-four of the Act.
