This SXEW qualification requirement may be temporarily suspended at the discretion of the Company. Within the Mine Department, blasting will be its own line of progression. An applicant can only train one operational classification beyond his/ her current classification, with the exception of truck drivers bidding on driller training positions. In the event that no applicant from the classification below the training posting applies or is qualified, other bids will be accepted.
