Which term describes a person who holds a valid Blaster's Foreman license issued by the Philippine National Police upon proper endorsement of the Bureau?

• A. Blaster
• B. Contractor
• C. Authorized Nuclear Device Operator
• D. Decommissioning Specialist

Answer: (A)

In blasting operations, the person who is legally empowered to supervise and initiate detonations is the Blaster. Holding a Blaster's Foreman license means the individual has met the required training and safety standards and is officially authorized to oversee blasting, with the license issued by the Philippine National Police upon endorsement by the Bureau. This credential identifies the person as the licensed professional responsible for planning, approving, and initiating blasts while ensuring all safety regulations are followed. The other terms don’t fit because they refer to roles outside the licensing and oversight of blasting: a contractor is a service provider, an authorized nuclear device operator relates to nuclear devices, and a decommissioning specialist handles shutting down facilities, not blasting operations.
