(A) Precautions to prevent damage by blasting; who may blast. Any person engaged in blasting shall take all necessary precautions to make such blasting harmless to persons and property. Only an experienced blaster, authorized by a permit issued by the Fire Department Fire Prevention Bureau, shall directly superintend or carry out any blasting operations in the town.
(B) Permit for blasting. Every permit for blasting shall be issued in the name of the contractor who is to do the specified blasting. Every such permit shall show on the face of the name of the foreman or other person authorized directly to superintend the blasting operations covered by the permit, together with the name of every person authorized to participate in such blasting operations. A separate permit shall be required for the blasting incident to each separate construction, excavation or other project. If, during the course of any authorized blasting operation, any person named in the permit is for some reason unable to continue his or her work under the permit, the Chief of the Fire Department Fire Prevention Bureau may, upon application by the holder of the permit, substitute for such person any other qualified person. A violation of this section is punishable as a misdemeanor.
