Indication of blasts

Before blasting with explosive substances, the holder of the permit according to § 7 of the Explosives Act must notify the competent authority of the blast (e.g. in the case of a building explosion or in the case of blasting in the course of road construction measures).

Note: Blasting in facilities that are approved in accordance with § 4 of the Federal Immission Control Act (e.g. in quarries) is exempt from the notification obligation. However, this only applies to blasting, which is included in the permit.
 

The respective regulatory authority of the city or municipality is responsible for receiving the notification.

The latter forwards a copy of the notification to the relevant regional council.

The enforcement departments for occupational health and safety technology at the regional councils of Darmstadt, Giessen and Kassel are responsible for monitoring the execution of the blasting work.
