243Misfire when electric detonator used

243 Misfire when electric detonator used (1) This section applies if there is a misfire after an electric detonator has been used. (2) The shot-firer must— (a) short-circuit the firing cable and the lead wires of the detonator before attempting to treat the misfire; and (b) if the shot-firer proposes to use a procedure under section 242— ensure, if practicable, that the lead wires from the detonator in the misfired blast hole are firmly secured to a fixed object so as to allow the recovery of the detonator.
