| description | Mining in Colombia is regulated by the Mining Safety Code, and although it had not been updated since 1987, the references on safety that the code has owned were based on international standards. However, these references do not have a mandatory adoption, and despite a strong component on occupational safety and health, Decree 1886/15 continues to show a rough technical content that could consent the extension of mining disasters associated with explosions in Colombia. This article specifies the international mine safety regulations, and critically analyzes the absence of its applicability in the country. Although the national outlook is discouraging because of the lack of rigor from governmental entities in enforcement, mining in other countries has improved in safety as a result of implementing standards that ensure quality operations and procedures, machinery, and human resources, decreasing mining disasters. |

La minería en Colombia está regida por el Código de Seguridad Minero, cuyos referentes de seguridad, pese a que no se habían actualizado desde 1987, se basaban en normas internacionales; sin embargo, estas no tienen un carácter de obligatoriedad, y el Decreto 1886/15, a pesar de su fuerte componente en seguridad y salud ocupacional, sigue mostrando un somero contenido técnico que podría consentir la prolongación de los desastres mineros en Colombia asociados a explosiones. El artículo explicita las normativas internacionales en seguridad minera y expone un análisis crítico frente a la ausencia de su aplicabilidad en el país. Aunque el panorama nacional es desalentador, debido a la falta de rigor de las entidades gubernamentales en la fiscalización, otros países han reportado mejoras en cuanto a seguridad, implementando normas que velan por el buen funcionamiento en los procedimientos, maquinarias y recursos humanos, menguando los desastres mineros.
