          Abstract

          Natech refers to a conjoint natural and technological hazard or accident. This paper is concerned with Natechs involving hazards arising from the handling, processing and/or storage of hazardous materials, as well as the transportation of oil and gas by pipeline. Risk management of chemical accident hazards has generally been carried out using industrial risk management regulations and practices, engineering safety codes and standards, environmental regulations, and land use planning. However, there is evidence that existing regulations and practices may not be suffcient if the particular conditions associated with Natechs have not been factored in. Awareness of the need to better address Natech risk has been on the rise; nevertheless, this is not refected suffciently in the laws and re-gulations of individual countries, and a general framework for the governance of Natech risk is lacking. This paper provides an overview of Natechs, their characteristics, and the problems associated with Natech risk management.

          Translated abstract

          Natech se refere a una asociación entre los peligros naturales y los peligros o accidentes industriales. Este documento se ocupa de Natechs que involucran peligros derivados de la manipulación, procesamiento y/o almacenamiento de materiales peligrosos, así como del transporte del petróleo y el gas por oleoductos o gasoductos, respectivamente. En general la gestión de riesgos de accidentes químicos se ha hecho a través de normas y prácticas de gestión de riesgos industriales, códigos de ingeniería y estándares de seguridad, regulaciones ambientales y planifcación del uso de la tierra. Sin embargo, hay evidencia que la existencia de regulaciones y prácticas seguras no son sufcientes si las condiciones específcas asociadas a Natechs, no se tienen en cuenta. La conciencia de abordar mejor el riesgo Natech ha ido en aumento; no obstante, esto no se ha refejado lo sufciente en las normas y regulaciones de cada país y en general hay una ausencia de un marco general para la gobernanza del riesgo Natech. Este artículo propone una visión general de los riegos Natech, sus características y los problemas asociados con su manejo.
