8/1/2008 - Conference papersThis testing monitored the performance of older and newer truck models relative to whole-body vibration (WBV) exposures as a means for determining when the vehicle (e.g., suspension system) and seats required maintenance or replacement.
-
10/1/2003 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers conducted a study to compare seat designs on underground coal mine haulage vehicles.
-
9/1/2010 - Conference papersThe objective of this work was to profile injuries sustained during haul truck operations, to identify priorities for further investigation, and to determine potential injury prevention strategies.
-
11/1/2006 - Conference papersResearchers performed laboratory studies on four passive and two semi-active seat suspension designs. These six seat suspension systems were tested and analyzed, for vertical vibration only, using the ISO 5007 Standard.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThe ambient diesel particulate matter (DPM) concentrations (at the intakes and exhausts of the mine) was evaluated as an entire vehicle fleet of a stone mine switched from using 35% biodiesel to a water-emulsified fuel (PuriNOx).
-
2/1/2005 - Conference papersThis analysis will indicate safe following distances for haul trucks and other heavy equipment to avoid overexposure to respirable dust from the lead haul truck.
-
10/1/2004 - Conference papersDescribes a method for assessing equipment jolting using a combination of "black boxes" called Shox Boxes and an onboard GPS system. The resulting configuration provides an objective assessment of jolting and a chance to determine its root causes.
-
10/1/2004 - Conference papersBlind areas around construction equipment are a major contributing factor in incidents involving a piece of equipment striking a worker. This paper evaluates several systems for allowing equipment operators to monitor blind areas around equipment.
-
8/1/2003 - Conference papersA field study was conducted to evaluate four seat designs on shuttle cars, including two NIOSH-designed seats.
-
10/1/2002 - Conference papersThe roles of main mine fans in underground mines are to induce airflow and continuously remove hazardous gases and dust. This paper concentrates on those mines having only one fan to provide ventilation needs.
