Jorge, Robin, Amadio, Ivan and David They died in the Cerredo mine (Astorias) The question now is the reason. Why do you cry Astorias? … The worst mining accident in 30 years despite technical progress and hardening regulations.
The answers will be provided through two ongoing investigations. On the one hand, the administrator, who is responsible for miners in the Ministry of Environmental Transition by the Emirate of Astorias, to determine whether the Azraq solution company meets the security conditions required by regulations and activity permits. On the other hand, the procedures opened by the first center court and the instructions of Cangas Del Narcea to determine whether, regardless of the possible administrative violation, committed the crime. The Persons area of the membership unit of the Judicial Police of the Civil Guard will carry these investigations, while strengthening firefighters in the Coruña unit.
The officials of the investigations are asking for patience. The mine was closed after the event and the first step for civil guards will be to perform an eye examination when arrival is safe. Another source of information will be provided by the survivors, which requires them to recover and be in a position that allows them to testify. The injured person who was accepted in Al -Assad Hospital was still unable to clarify a lot. According to one of his relatives, he repeats that “everything happened suddenly, I was working and felt a blow behind it. I no longer remember.
There will be a third task, a documentary review, which will consist of the analysis of the Blue Solving permits and the regulatory framework that governs it, which leaves evidence for the series of responsibilities.
The main research hypothesis is that the accident was due to an explosion of Gris’s accumulation, but with the security measures that you should count to avoid this? “Through it determines the general organization of basic mining safety standards and complementary technical instructions,” Santiago Suarez, former president to save mining, calls for formulas. “The standard is very restricted, and the forces have sufficient ventilation, EPAR fashion and a responsible guard,” describes this professional commerce.

Scale
The goalkeeper has a basic function: “Before entering the device, you must achieve whether there are gases and then monitor the methanometer or gray scale. This gas may explode with the presence of the air between 4.5 and 14 % for that, for safety, it seems that the warning appears if it reaches 1 % and from 2.5 % you have to give up work.”
There is out of safety, ventilation measures and type of machines that can be used based on the mine category. The classification ranges from 1 to 4, being the levels of the 1st level “that” that has not been presented or any other flammable gases. ” Cerredo, the sources of the sector coinciding with category 2, that is, it is considered a “weak gray” because in that gas “in a reduced amount” that can be released.
“Corredo coal does not generate much gas and in the central basin, where we had many levels 4,” Jose Antonio Sanz de Santa Maria, former Decoan, confirms the former College of Geology. “In this mine, it has been used for a long time and did not give such a problem, but this does not prevent you from happening one day. In Pirzo I was in a mine where there was no Grossian accident, the cigar was operated, with severe consequences. “
The status report, which was submitted by the Ministry of Environmental Transition, will determine whether Cerredo is retaining at level 2 with additional security measures, or re -classified it. Data to be taken into account. The Dimar and the country in which the bodies were recovered indicated that the specialists who, if confirmed, were a Grisú bag, but not capital messages.
What were they doing there?
Solving Blue, which is formed in 2022, has two different activities in Cerredo. Outside the well, the evaluation factory is raised by the products and is about to finish another of Briquetas with a related society. These initiatives received 1.5 million from the fair transition fund. There is also a group of charcoal in the area that maintains León.
The second work consists of entering the mine, which has been abandoned since 2018, and the location of good charcoal that is subject to thermal treatment that makes the graphite.
In November 2023, BlueSTOLING exploited the exploitation, until then from Asturian and Leonesa (Combayl). The agendas of the Ministry of Transition are achieved from three meetings with Bilrirena Diaz (then General Manager) and Isaac Paula (Deputy Minister to March) between December 2023 and April 2024.
One allows opinion polls to verify charcoal quality on the first or second floor. Minister Pillarna Diaz said yesterday: “The second, which expired on April 11, has authorized to reach the fateful third floor only” to restore scrap, roads and metal paintings if it allows the circumstances of the mine. “He described that the victims will be” in conclusion and abandoning this floor.
In areas near the administration, he mentioned that the company can reuse these images and corridors in another mine, and get some benefits. In environments close to mining companies, they oppose that these types of tasks “compensate for little” are usually urged by the exhibition management in a better closure.
What the counselor revealed yesterday is that shortly after the activity began, on August 23, their technicians “inspected routine”. They did not discover “nothing anomaly.” In active farms, visits are more frequent, but in Cerredo are supposed to be only opinion polls and scourge.
