The ground vibration is one of the major problem in open pit mines and often it causes severe damages to building and sensitive structures. Release of energy during blasting produces reactive forces, which causes the damage to the near civil structures and sensitive structures. This paper mainly deals with monitoring of blast induced ground vibrations at Stone quarry in North Kerala region in India. The monitoring of ground vibration will helps in calculating the safe charge of explosive to be used. The maximum charge of explosive (MCD) and peak particle velocity (PPV) were recorded for 8 blast events at various distances. Minimate is used in order to measure the vibration levels. All the vibration reading were obtained from varying distances from blast location
