3/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis publication details the results of NIOSH studies to examine operating speeds based on usage and seam height.
-
7/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper updates an earlier report by the authors that studied electrical injuries from 1992 to 1998. The previous information is expanded and supplemented with fatal and nonfatal injury rates and trends through 2002.
-
12/1/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA analysis documenting the burden associated with nonfatal slip, trip, and fall incidents at surface stone, sand, and gravel mines from 2008 through 2017.
-
3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article investigates the design and implementation of large-format lead-acid batteries to identify safety interventions that can mitigate these inherent hazards.
-
1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA comprehensive analysis of these events was conducted to better understand where and why these incidents occurred.
-
11/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) undertook a comprehensive analysis of the safety record of the contractor segment of the mining industry using the MSHA database.

4/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis NIOSH study determined if new LED-based cap lamp technology has an impact on visual performance in the context of detecting trip hazards for the visual environment of an underground coal mine.
-
12/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes an alternative measure of risk in mining using a beta distribution to model the losses and to compare underground coal mining to underground metal/nonmetal mining from 2000 to 2004.
-
1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study's objective was to simulate the postures and loads experienced by the lumbar spine during repetitive lifting of weights in different torso flexion postures, and to analyze the fatigue failure response of lumbosacral motion segments.
-
11/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articlesUsing employment and injury data reported to the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) from 1990 to 1996, injury rates for both nonfatal days lost and fatality cases were examined by seam height and leading type of injury incidents.
