When work is performed after dark, which areas must be illuminated?

• A. Drilling Areas
• B. Blasting Areas
• C. Stripping Areas
• D. All of the Above

Answer: (D)

When work continues after dark, all areas where activity is taking place must be well illuminated. Drilling, blasting, and stripping each involve different hazards, and visibility in every active area helps operators see equipment, terrain, and potential dangers, prevents trips and collisions, and supports safe handling of explosives and drilling operations. Because safety relies on clear sightlines across the whole site, every area where work is being done after dark should be illuminated.
