Blasting is a critical part of the mining process, and it necessitates the use of a lot of explosives. However, the blasting process and the use of explosives continue to pose a risk to both humans and the environment. According to various research, fragmentation contributes for only 20-30% of the overall kinetic force used. Ground vibration, fly rock, air overpressure, and noise are all ways that energy is lost. The human reaction to ground vibrations is the special difficulty linked with them. Vibrations from the blast may cause substantial damage to neighboring buildings or structures. This project involves conducting a blast vibration research and interpreting the results in light of the DGMS criteria. Geophones and the Blastmate8.0 programme were used in the research. First and foremost, blasting operations were observed using geophones placed at 100, 200, and 300 metres. The data from the instrument was analyzed by the Blastmate software, which produced a graphical representation. For each explosion, the maximum charge per delay, peak particle velocity (PPV), and air overpressure were measured. The numerous observations were then compared to the standards in order to arrive at a conclusion. When the appropriate quantity of charge per delay or safe charge per delay was utilized, the vibration level for the blasts was less than 5 mm/sec, according to the analysis of blast vibration at the mines. The measured air overpressure was between 114 and 127.6 decibels (L). The results determined from the project indicates that the peak particle velocity, air overpressure generated due to blasting were within the limits. The safe charge per delay for the blasting operation was determined from the study. The project's findings show that the peak particle velocity and air overpressure created by blasting were both within acceptable limits. The analysis found the safe charge per delay for the blasting operation
