Obudowa szybów - rola i zadania nadzoru górniczego

Szyby pełnią kluczową rolę w zapewnieniu ciągłości ruchu podziemnego zakładu górniczego. Z uwagi na długi czas istnienia i użytkowania niejednokrotnie obserwuje się uszkodzenia ich obudowy lub awarie wyposażenia. Aby temu zapobiegać, prowadzone są bieżące i okresowe kontrole szybów, omówione w artykule. Na tym tle przedstawiono, w nawiązaniu do przepisów i norm górniczych, rolę i zadania organów nadzoru górniczego w zakresie nadzoru i oceny stanu technicznego obudowy szybów górniczych.

After a long period of use of mine shafts, we have been observing damage to their liners, which can lead to their deteriorated stability, or even to the collapse of the complete shaft. In order to prevent this, ongoing control needs to be exercised by the companies themselves, and periodic inspections need to be performed by material experts. Mining regulations also obligate mining supervision authorities to supervise and assess the technical condition of mine shafts. As of 19 October 2022, mining supervision is the sole responsibility of the President of the State Mining Authority. In accordance with the Geological and Mining Law, they can enforce preventive and verification measures in order to bring any legal activity to its fully legal form. These preventive measures include, among others, evaluation of the correctness of solutions applied, and measurements used for assessing the safety conditions. The company can also be ordered to verify such correctness or perform such measurements. Verification measures include, among others, issuing an order to rectify an irregularity or stop all operations in the complete facility, its part, or with respect to selected equipment.
