Section 300.236  Examination

a)         Written examinations for blaster licensure shall be

administered at least semiannually, on dates and at times and locations

announced by the Department via news releases and direct communication with

operators and individuals who request, in writing, to be so notified.  In the

case of occurrences beyond the Department's control, scheduled examinations and

training may be postponed until the earliest opportunity.  All persons

scheduled for a regular examination session will be so notified at least one

week prior to the scheduled exam date.

b)         Reexaminations shall be scheduled, if needed, for those

persons who do not pass the regularly scheduled examination.  All persons

scheduled for reexamination during the reexamination session will be so

notified at least one week prior to the scheduled reexamination session.

c)         If the applicant cannot attend the examination or

reexamination session for which the applicant is scheduled, the applicant shall

so inform the Department at least one day in advance of the examination date.  Failure

to do so will result in the application being rejected, and the applicant

having to reapply for licensure. Any person who cannot attend such a session

and who informs the Department in accordance with this Section will be

scheduled for the next examination or reexamination session.

d)         Applicants for blaster licensure shall be examined on the

topics set forth in Section 300.235(b).
