Planteamiento general de la seguridad en la rehabilitación y explotación turística de los parques mineros o minas musealizadas
Abstract
La seguridad de los parques mineros y minas musealizadas no está regulada prácticamente en ningún país, pese a que cada vez son más numerosos los visitantes y usuarios de estas instalaciones. A falta de esta normativ a, al menos en España, los criterios adoptados por las distintas administraciones competentes son variados. Sin embargo, es preciso establecer un criterio regulatorio claro que ampare los trabajos de rehabilitación de las instalaciones, a los visitantes que posteriormente acuda a ellas y al personal que les atienda, establezca los procedimientos a seguir (autoridades involucradas, proyectos a presentar, obras a realizar, autorizaciones, etc.), y defina las responsabilidades a que hubiera lugar en caso de mala praxis, accidente o muerte. En el presente trabajo se plantea una solución conceptual, aplicada ya en algunos lugares de España, y que puede ser razonable en tanto las autoridades establezcan una normativa específica del sector.
The safety of mining parks and museumized mines is not regulated in practically any country, despite the fact that there are more and more visitors and users of these facilities. In the absence of this regulation, at least in Spain, the criteria adopted by the different competent administrations are varied. However, it is necessary to establish a clear regulatory criterion that covers the rehabilitation works of the facilities, the visitors who later come to them and the personnel who attend them, establish the procedures to be followed (authorities involved, projects to be presented, works to be carry out, authorizations, etc.), and define the responsibilities that would arise in case of malpractice, accident or death. In the present work, a conceptual solution is proposed, already applied in some places in Spain, and which may be reasonable as long as the authorities establish specific regulations for the sector.
