Concerns about the present derating factors used for reeled trailing cables prompted researchers at the NIOSH to determine new derating factors for reeled coal mining trailing cables.
-
This NIOSH publication demonstrates how existing and new engineering controls can be used to reduce face methane levels.
-
In this report, several practical guidelines are recommended for controlling longwall coalbed methane. All predictions are based on determinations made for the Pittsburgh Coalbed in southwestern Pennsylvania.
-
The guidelines in this report are to be used as a tool to identify areas or conditions that could impact the long-term stability of an underground fluid retention system and to give direction in addressing these situations.
-
Injury data show a dramatic reduction in roof skin injuries when screening is used. Five case studies in which roof screen was used are presented along with the costs of materials, impact on bolting advance rates, and potential ergonomic risks.
-
Roof screening has been found to be very effective in controlling the fall of small rocks from the immediate roof surface. Data is presented from two mines that show a dramatic reduction in roof skin injuries when screening is used.
-
This handbook was developed to identify available engineering controls that can assist underground and surface metal/nonmetal mining operations in reducing worker exposure to respirable silica dust.
-
This handbook was developed to identify available engineering controls that can help the industry reduce worker exposure to respirable coal and silica dust.
