What it regulates
Approves ITC 02.1.02 on minimum preventive training for mining jobs. It requires training matched to actual tasks and risks, periodic updating and documentary evidence. Technical specifications define training programmes for groups of jobs; the absence of a specification does not remove the employer’s duty to provide training. Following the 2011 amendment, this training must be delivered in person and refresher or updating courses must last at least five teaching hours.
Who it applies to
Spain. Workplaces within the activities in article 1 of Royal Decree 863/1985 and article 2(a) of Royal Decree 1389/1997. It includes exploration, surface, underground, processing and common job groups. Specific training to act as a coordinator between businesses or a preventive resource falls outside this ITC, without dispensing with training for the worker’s own job.
Key provisions
Training qualifies the worker to perform the job and must fit the workplace, tasks and risks. Refresher or updating training must recur at intervals no longer than four years, subject to more specific periods in the specifications. Prescribed content and durations are minimum requirements, not one identical programme for all mining work.
Complementary technical instruction 02The employer arranges appropriate internal or external resources and must provide training even if there is no specification for the job. Section 7.3 requires in-person delivery and section 7.4 sets a minimum of five teaching hours for refresher or updating training; that minimum does not replace the applicable programme requirements or the need for sufficient training.
Complementary technical instruction 02The teaching team must include a coordinator qualified for higher-level occupational risk prevention functions and meet this section’s requirements for mining-specific academic or vocational training and sector experience.
Complementary technical instruction 02Successfully completed training is documented and entered in the worker’s personal training record; the employer maintains the course register. In extractive industries, the information forms part of chapter 10 of the safety and health document. The sufficient and appropriate theoretical and practical training required by article 19 of the Occupational Risk Prevention Act remains mandatory.

Transitional provisions and application notes
The original one-year period after entry into force for adapting refresher-training plans has elapsed. Each specification’s own periods must also be checked. This ITC does not itself certify the specific training of a coordinator between businesses or preventive resource.
Transitional provision soleThe original amending publication adds sections 7.3 and 7.4. The consolidated-text annotation referring to 7.2 and 7.3 is inconsistent: this entry follows the officially published single article and the ITC’s actual content.
