What it regulates

Approves ITC 02.1.01, setting the minimum content and structure of the safety and health document for extractive-industry workplaces. The document must show how prevention is integrated, planned and implemented: risks, measures, organisation, contractor coordination, training, emergencies and health surveillance. It is not a form that replaces preventive action; it must reflect actual conditions and be updated. The 2020 amendment clarified approval by technical management, supervision of workplaces and the presence of preventive resources.

Who it applies to

Spain. Workplaces subject to the General Basic Mining Safety Regulations and within the scopes of Royal Decrees 150/1996 and 1389/1997. It covers new and existing workplaces under the ITC; it does not require every business in other sectors to create this mining document.

Key provisions

The employer prepares the document before activity starts at a new workplace, with appropriate advice and consultation of worker representatives. The advisory team must include at least one university-qualified professional with sufficient sector competence and experience, and the document must evidence risk assessment, planning and integration of prevention.

Annex

The document is updated at least annually and reviewed following relevant changes, new contractors, fatal or serious accidents and serious risks. Amendments are submitted to the mining authority. New workplaces also require a review after three months of activity, taking account of worker consultation.

Annex

Technical management approves the documentation used to plan and implement measures, resources and work methods. The reference structure covers organisation, assessment, coordination between businesses, procedures, training, information, emergencies, health surveillance, monitoring and budget, with the relevant annexes.

Annex

The document determines how workplaces are supervised and how the presence of preventive resources is arranged. Supervisors may perform that preventive-resource role only where the conditions in article 32 bis of the Occupational Risk Prevention Act and article 22 bis of the Prevention Services Regulations are met.

Transitional provisions and application notes

  • The original six-month adjustment period after entry into force for existing workplaces has elapsed. It does not restart when this entry is consulted and does not permit postponement of periodic document updates.

    Transitional provision sole
  • The structure allows an item to be marked “not applicable” where appropriate, but does not remove the need to substantiate applicable prevention. The Order repealed incompatible provisions of equal or lower rank; it did not repeal Royal Decrees 150/1996 or 1389/1997 in full, which underpin the document.
