• An Approach to Identify Jobs for Ergonomic Analysis
  3/1/2001 - Conference papers
  This paper describes the use of four sources of data (injury records, the Nordic Standardized Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, supervisor interviews and management concerns) to prioritize jobs for ergonomic analysis.
• Strength Testing
  3/1/2001 - Book chapters
  The purpose of this chapter is to discuss some of the fundamental principles of strength assessment in ergonomics, so that these procedures can be better applied to control the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace.
• Physical Strength Assessment in Ergonomics
  1/1/1998 - Conference papers
  This publication concerns human physical strength testing. Its purpose is not to recommend any particular type of testing, but rather to describe the types of testing available and their uses.
• Technology News 459 - Ergonomic Seat Reduces Shock for Low-Seam Shuttle Car Operators
  5/1/1997 - Technology News
  The lack of sufficient vertical clearance in some underground mines is an impediment to providing adequate shock isolation systems on mine equipment seats.
• Rock Mechanics Study of Shaft Stability and Pillar Mining, Homestake Mine, Lead, SD (In Three Parts): 3. Geomechanical Monitoring and Modeling Using UTAH3
  1/1/1996 - Reports of Investigations
  A U.S. Bureau of Mines case study of pillar recovery in high-grade ore near the Ross shaft at the Homestake Mine, Lead, SD, has demonstrated the usefulness of the finite-element method for evaluating shaft pillar mining plans and shaft stability. In thi...
• The Cost Relationship Between Performance Engineering and Human Behavior
  1/1/1996 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This field trial of the Work Crew Performance Model affirms the congruency between production and operator training by providing a unique cost linkage between performance engineering and human behavior.
