Training in Handling, Storage and Transport of Explosives

On May 27 of this year, in the Official Registry - Supplement No. 71, Ministerial Agreement 194 was issued on the Requirements for Obtaining and Renewing authorizations, permits and other services contemplated in the Law of Manufacturing, Import, Export, Marketing and Possession of Weapons, Ammunition, Explosives and Accessories and its Regulations; as well as the classification of controlled chemical and biological weapons and substances. In said ministerial agreement, several of its articles mention the obligation to have a "Training Certificate in handling, storage and transport of explosives for the personnel responsible for the magazines issued by a Higher Education Institution."

The University of Azuay, in response to this need for training, through the mining career and the Department of Continuing Education, will teach this course, since Ministerial Agreement 194 constitutes a legal requirement for the renewal of mining magazine permits, as well as to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations in the Mining Field, published in Official Registry No. 339, of November 27, 2020. For artisanal mining, blasting operations must be approved by a Mining Engineer. .
