| description | In Boyacá, the number of deaths from methane explosions in coalmines constitutes the greatest mining risk, and the victims can be around 10 deaths per year. Therefore, the province was zoning to determine the mining areas with the highest risk from the measurements of methane concentrations on the mining fronts. From the database of the National Mining Office, the methane gas contents reported in percentage during the inspection visits were reviewed. This information was organized and tabulated in a GIS platform, then filtered to use the most useful data. This review shows that the area of greatest risk is between Tasco and Socotá, where the highest gas contents have also been reported in desorption tests; based on that, this area requires more attention and care during follow-up visits in order to avoid accidents. |

Therefore, the province was zoning to determine the mining areas with the highest risk from the measurements of methane concentrations on the mining fronts. From the database of the National Mining Office, the methane gas contents reported in percentage during the inspection visits were reviewed.

En Boyacá el número de muertes por explosiones de metano en minas de carbón constituye el mayor riesgo minero, y las víctimas pueden estar alrededor de 10 muertos por año. Por lo tanto, se hizo zonificación del departamento para determinar las zonas mineras con mayor riesgo a partir de las mediciones de las concentraciones de metano en los frentes mineros. De la base de datos de la Agencia Nacional de Minería, se revisaron los contenidos de gas metano reportados en porcentaje durante las visitas de fiscalización. Dicha información se organizó y tabulo en una plataforma SIG, luego se filtrópara utilizar los datos de mayor utilidad. Este rastreo arrojó que la zona de mayor riesgo está entre Tasco y Socotá, donde también se han reportado los mayores contenidos de gas en los ensayos de desorción; por lo tanto, este sector requiere mayor atención y cuidado durante las visitas de seguimiento a fin de evitar accidentes.
