IMPORTANCE OF THE APPLICATION OF THE MODEL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN ROCK BLASTING

This article aims to identify the importance of implementing the environmental management model in rock blasting, which helps to minimize environmental impact. This article was based on a literature review in regard to the rock breaking second (DALLORA NETO, 2004; PONTES, 1998; ESTON 1998; ROLIM, 1993; SANCHEZ, 2001 and Silva et al 2000). The environmental management studies were used (BARBIERI 2004; PIMENTA 2008; FERNANDES 2001, HUSBAND et al. In 1999; HENRIQUE and QUELHAS, 2007 and UNIDO / UNEP 1995a). With the application of this tool is expected to get the indicators that will lead to environmental management applied in rock blasting, which contribute to a more integrated and participatory in this activity.
