Abstract

Safety and health in the mining field is considered a very important condition, and that is why in Ecuador there are laws that regulate this activity,however over time it has been almost impossible to control that all mining areas fully comply with these rules, so this has led to many accidents or deathsin these camps, This has been due to lack of implementation of the laws and few technical visits by the control bodies to monitor and verify compliance withregulations, instructions, manuals and other technical standards, as indicatedin Article 4 of the Regulations on Safety and Health at Work in the Mining Sector. Currently this field is controlled by the Mining Regulation and Control Agency, which is the entity in charge of verifying compliance with several standards, which must be implemented and complied with by the employer, who is in charge and also responsible for ensuring the safety and health of workers in the mining area, according to article 68 of the Mining Law. According to the analysis of what has been studied, it has beenconcluded that mining activities in Ecuador are not regulated or controlled as indicated in the law, since there are many loopholes in it, and that is why this work has the purpose of proposing improvements in the law.
