§ 211.152. Control of gases, including carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen.

(a)  A blast shall be conducted so that the gases generated by the blast, including carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen, do not affect the health or safety of individuals. Gas migration may be prevented or minimized by taking measures such as venting the gases to the atmosphere and interrupting the path along which gases may flow. Evacuating people from areas that may contain gases could prevent their health from being affected.
(b)  The blasting activity permittee shall notify the Department within 4 hours if the gases generated by the blast affect the health or safety, or both, of individuals.
