having my h&s introduction at a quarry and the silly women said there maybe blasting at times but the siren will go off and your to walk to the other side of the building and wait in the canteen , I said if they start blasting with dynamite I’ll be diving under the trailer for cover love not wandering across the yard to the canteen 
zb me has she never watched those war documentarys , them bloody troops when there being shelled don’t wander across the beach to a supposed place of safety , there straight down on there tummy on the floor with
there hands on there helmets
zb great pieces of rock flying round your ears and she wants you to calmly wander to the canteen , silly cow
When I saw the thread title, I assumed she’d given all of Dozy’s chocolate biscuits to harry 
Currently I’m in my bunk with my hand on my helmet. Does that count?
If you are there for an induction, and in your car, who’s trailer are you going to dive under?

The siren is a warning telling you to walk over to a safe area. So, that’s what you should do.
Blasting happens in most quarries, most weeks. It’s part of the process. Everyone who works in the quarry can cope with it. Just do what you are told and you will be fine.

No, 'tis all a dastardly plot by the so called authorities to get us subjugated. It’s meant to turn us into sheeple. When you next hear a warning siren show your independence by running towards the so called danger! Don’t listen to H&S dictators!

Correct. When we hand out our explosives manual - that is what we say to do. It’s our way of getting rid of undesirable drivers 
What numpty would let Dozy anywhere near explosives■■? Even in the same yard is risky! 
Doze is this you heading off to the canteen with the H&S woman…
In my 27 years of working in and around quarries I only ever encountered one ‘missfire’ when blasting. That was at Ballidon quarry near Ashbourne, the charge was wrong and some of the material blasted went off course but the only damage done was to the canteen roof as some went through it…so don’t worry Dozy, it was only once in 27 years.

It’ll be Dozy’ Luck there’ll be another once in 27 year occurrence… today

This topic needs to be re-titled… silly dozy.
A quarry is a dangerous place, that’s for sure.
However, the guys who actually do the blasting (shot firers) are extremely good at what they do.
Lots of planning goes into every blast, the maths is something to behold!!
Let’s just say that any pieces of rock that do fly about will be very small indeed and not travelling at great speed due to the amount of explosives needed to shift the desired amount of rock and leave it nicely sitting in a neat pile in the quarry. (Lots of complicated maths.)
Then there’s the safety distance. (Lots of complicated maths.)
Then there are the complicated people… anyone who wants to argue about preferring to be under a trailer when somebody wants to send them to a canteen (where one can obtain a cup of tea ) must be complicated, because (to me) a canteen is a great place to be, especially when one is obeying site rules. 
Maybe stobrats are getting bored of hitting those low bridges so dozy Is there bridge blaster

You won’t need to go into quarries from next week when you’re on Knowhow will you? You are still going there surely, or did you change your mind when your shower suddenly repaired itself?
Silly cow?charming,imagine the poor woman having to deal with the likes of you,unable or unwilling to follow clear concise instruction,and the poor unfortunates on here unlucky enough to stumble across yet another example of your banality,comparing a controlled explosion in a quarry to war ■■?wtf
Dozy just do as you told and shut up.
May be we should tell your planner to put you on Tesco runs before anything serious happens.
