Application-Specific Safety Products for the Mining Industry

Blasting Cones (Hole-Saver Cones)

Blasting cones are an essential safety product for the mining industry. They are used to stop debris from flying during blasting operations. Our blasting cones are lightweight and are designed to last.

They help:

• prevent back-filling,
• mark the blast hole pattern,
• keep blast holes dry.

Blasting Hole Covers

Blasting hole covers are placed over blasting holes after they have been drilled and filled with explosives.

The cover prevents the entrance of rainwater which can cause problems such as collar collapse or blockages. Investing in this equipment means less time and money spent drilling new holes.

Blasting hole covers are also used to cover drilling holes to prevent workers from falling into them. Venture Plastics Distributors’ covers are made robust and are designed to withstand the weight of heavy equipment and workers. They are also easy to install and remove and light in weight.

1.8m Mining Cones

These large and highly visible plastic safety cones demarcate different areas and denote potential danger in mines. They are made from Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), making them flexible but incredibly strong.

1.8m cones are impact-resistant and lightweight. This makes them a perfect marker choice in areas that are often replanned.

They come in a wide variety of colours and can have class 4 prismatic reflective stickers stuck to them for maximum visibility.

T Markers

T Markers are another kind of the many safety products for the mining industry that we can supply in bulk. They are pushed into the soil and are therefore ideal for marking and identifying various areas on the ground.

They are typically used to mark the location of a shot hole. They are available in a range of bright colours, making them easy to identify and pick out from afar.

Stop Blocks

Stop blocks are wedge-shaped pieces of durable material manufactured from polyurethane or rubber. They are used in pairs and placed against a vehicle’s wheel to prevent any accidental movement.

Stop blocks are vital to use in a mining environment as the wide range of large haul vehicles can pose serious risks to workers if not properly secured. Our uniquely designed toothed face chocks provide an extreme and reliable grip. They also have ergonomic back-end handles for easy use.

Cable Bridges

Venture Plastics Distributors manufactures two kinds of cable bridges. Bakkie cable bridges and permanent cable bridges.

Bakkie cable bridges are used for open-cast mines. This is a temporary bridge that goes where you go. Vehicles carry them so that you can pull them out and pop them over the cable wherever it’s needed.

Our permanent cable bridge option can withstand enormous amounts of weight in two options that allow for either a single cable or double cables.
