Decreto 1886 de 2015 (Reglamento de Seguridad en las Labores Mineras Subterráneas), Art. 217 defines effective temperature te = 0.7 th + 0.3 ts - V (th wet-bulb °C, ts dry-bulb °C, V air speed m/s). Art. 218 sets permitted time at the work face: te 28 no limit; 29 six hours; 30 four hours; 31 two hours; 32 zero hours. Parágrafo: where te exceeds 31 °C only mine rescue crews may enter.
