7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis research determined noise exposures of equipment operators while documenting worker task. The types of equipment studied included asphalt pavers, backhoes, bulldozers, compaction equipment, excavators, haul trucks, and wheeled loaders.
-
10/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article describes noise research conducted in limestone mines, detailing the equipment likely to cause worker overexposures, the occupations experiencing overexposures, and the implications for worker noise exposure reduction.
-
10/1/2005 - Conference papersThe focus of this research was to determine the noise exposures of heavy construction equipment operators while documenting the workers’ tasks, (i.e. hauling, moving, and/or pushing construction material).
-
9/1/1995 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsInformation regarding adverse health effects resulting from exposure to respirable coal mine dust was reviewed as a basis for the development of new occupational safety and health standards. Recommendations are provided concerning respirable coal mine d...
