6/1/2006 - Information CircularsThis handbook describes effective methods for the control of methane gas in mines and tunnels. It assumes the reader is familiar with mining.
-
9/1/2005 - Information CircularsWater well drillers are exposed to high levels of noise while working. Drillers and owners can work together to prevent noise-induced hearing loss, and measures can be taken to reduce exposure to hazardous noise.
-
9/1/2002 - Information CircularsThis paper discusses a technique developed in partnership with RAG Twentymile Coal Co., Oak Creek, CO, for incorporating employee participation at all levels in fire prevention and safe equipment operation training outside of traditional classrooms.
-
8/1/2002 - Information CircularsThis report reviews the performance and applicability of technology for the control of emissions from diesel-powered equipment used in underground coal and metal/nonmetal mines.
-
8/1/2000 - Information CircularsProvides a detailed description of a data collection instrument used to profile the fire prevention and response capabilities of a mine site.
-
6/1/1998 - Information CircularsA collection of 15 papers from leading international ground control specialists. The papers address the entire range of issues associated with coal pillars and have a decidedly practical flavor.
-
1/1/1994 - Information CircularsThe U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted a worldwide literature review of bleederless ventilation practices to evaluate their use as a spontaneous combustion control measure in U.S. coal mines. This report describes the types of ventilation systems used throu...
-
1/1/1992 - Information CircularsA U.S. Bureau of Mines investigation of longwall panel layouts to maximize coal recovery and minimize interactive problems in multiple-seam operations.
-
1/1/1992 - Information CircularsAn report on the evaluation of smoke detectors placed in conveyor belt entries of underground coal mines. Recommendations for performance standards, sensitivity tests, detector classification and maintenance are also presented.
-
1/1/1992 - Information CircularsA U.S. Bureau of Mines investigation of the early detection of insulation failure in squirrel cage induction motors using a sophisticated empirical data-modeling technique based on values calculated from a motor's voltage and current phasors.
