A dead man control arrangement

A dead man control arrangement for a blasting apparatus, the dead man control arrangement comprising:

• a manually operable control part movable between a non-operating position, which prevents operation of the blasting apparatus, and an operating position, and biased towards the non-operating position;
• a control signal governor which in response to the manually operable control part being in the operating position generates a first control signal for sending to a first remote controller arranged to allow a first operation of the blasting apparatus only upon receipt of the first control signal, and a second control signal for sending to a second remote controller of the blasting apparatus arranged to allow a second operation of the blasting apparatus only upon receipt of the second control signal,
• wherein the dead man control arrangement further comprises a selector for selecting whether or not the second control signal is sent to the second remote controller.
