FLYROCKS OCCUR WHERE ENERGY IS VENTED INTO ATMOSPHERE AND PROPELS ROCKS
WHERE BURDEN AND STEMMING IS TOO SMALL OR HOLES ARE INITIATED OUT OF SEQUENCE
DRILLING INACCURACY
OVERCHARGING
GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
SYMPATHETIC DETONATION

GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
Open joints, mud seams and cavities may result in escape of gases and also blasting nuisances.

MEASURES TO CONTROL FLYROCK DAMAGE
1. Proper blast design
2. Bench height, borehole diameter, hole
inclination, burden and spacing, charge
distribution in holes, stemming, initiation
sequence and timing
3. Site control during blasting
4. More experienced drilling/blasting crew
5. More effective communication
6. Covering
7. Miscellaneous measures loose stone, toe
holes
