description We report the results of the research project entitled "Awareness and diagnosis of safety in small and medium mining in the departament of Boyacá" which was based on the analysis of accident stadistics provided by the Mining Rescue Station of the National Mining Ageney, Nobsa. The aim of the study is to show the foci and causes of accidents, their frequency and direct relationship witth the coal production in the departament.The results show that the higshest number of accidents in the last decade has ocurred in the provinces of Sugamuxi and Valdarama with 30% and 28% respectively. In turn, the biggest cause of accidental deaths is presented by landslides, causes associated with lightning and ventilation.The analysis concludes that there is a positive correlation between the annual production of coal in the departament and the number of accidents reported to the Mine Rescue Station in Nobsa.

Se reportan los resultados del proyecto de investigación denominado “Sensibilización y diagnóstico de la seguridad en pequeña y mediana minería en el departamento de Boyacá” el cual se realizó a partir del análisis de las estadísticas de accidentalidad suministradas por la Estación de Salvamento Minero, sede Nobsa de la Agencia Nacional de Minería. El objetivo del estudio es mostrar los focos y causas de la accidentalidad, su frecuencia y la relación directa del mismo con la producción de carbón en el departamento. Los resultados muestran que el mayor número de accidentes en la última década, se ha presentado en las provincias de Sugamuxi y Valderama con un 30% y 28% respectivamente. A su vez la mayor causa de muertes accidentales se presenta por derrumbes, causas asociadas a ventilación  y descargas eléctricas. El análisis concluye que existe una correlación positiva de 65%, entre la producción anual de carbón en el departamento y el número de accidentes reportados a la estación de salvamento minero de Nobsa.
