(1)   By tendering a copy at the blasting operation to the designated agent or to the individual who, based upon reasonable inquiry by the Director or his authorized representative, appears to be in charge of the blasting operation referred to in the notice or order. If no such individual can be located at the site, a copy may be tendered to any individual on the site who appears to be an employee or agent of the person to whom the notice or order is issued. Service shall be complete upon tender of the notice or order and shall not be deemed incomplete because of refusal to accept.
