Edition and archive note. The former DGSA article was recovered from an indexed historical copy, not from the live page. Its old official judgment-download link returned 404 during this review on 24 October 2026. Independent verification against the original CENDOJ judgment remains pending. This page is an annotated archive summary, not the judgment or a verified legal digest.
What the former DGSA article recorded
The recovered article described an unloading incident at the municipal swimming pools in Lesaka on 19 November 2009: sulphuric acid was delivered through the wrong connection into a sodium hypochlorite tank. It reported an evacuation and six people attending the local health centre with minor discomfort, without hospital transfers.
Its reproduced case account stated that the driver made the connection before the responsible maintenance staff arrived. These details are attributed to the former DGSA archive; they have not been independently re-established here from the original judgment.
Court references retained for verification
The archived entry identified ROJ SAP VI 440/2012, CENDOJ 01059370012012100285, the Provincial Court of Alava, Section 1, and a judgment dated 12 June 2012. It gave judgment number 329/2012 and appeal number 168/2012. The ROJ reference and judgment number are different identifiers, not competing dates or case numbers.
The old official download reference was 6689432. It is retained as provenance, but not presented as a working download. No damages award, allocation of liability or general legal conclusion is certified by this reconstruction.
Historical proceedings and current operations must be kept separate
The archived discussion referred to Royal Decree 551/2006. Royal Decree 97/2014 replaced that decree. Its Articles 36 and 37 address unloading-safety checks, knowledge of the goods and installation, and competent personnel. A historical judgment should not replace assessment of today's applicable rules and actual participants.
DGSA practical questions before connecting a delivery hose
The following are preventive review questions, not quotations from the court: Who has authority to receive and release the delivery? How are the product, delivery documents, receiving tank and connection matched? What prevents a hose being attached to a neighbouring incompatible-product inlet? What must the driver do if the receiving person or an essential check is unavailable?
Use the site's approved procedure to document the answers, assign responsibilities and define the stop condition. Do not start merely because a connection fits or someone unrelated to the operation is present. Any chemical emergency response must follow the installation's emergency arrangements and the competent responders' instructions; this case note is not a clean-up procedure.
