12/1/2006 - Information CircularsThis study presents a NIOSH cross-sectional survey of noise sources and worker noise exposures, discusses the survey's application to administrative and engineering controls, and reviews exposure reduction methods.
-
3/19/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article discussing the development of a retrofitted noise control package for haul trucks and load-haul-dumps (LHDs) used in underground metal/nonmetal mines.
-
9/24/2018 - Awards and recognitionThree NIOSH researchers recently won a significant award in the field of noise control.
-
2/1/2018 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to reduce the noise generated by the scrubber fan system present on continuous mining machines.
-
1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper documents the evolution of the bit isolator and chuck isolator. Laboratory testing confirms that production bit and chuck isolators reduce the A-weighted sound level generated during drilling by 3.7 to 6.6 dB.
-
4/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH conducted research to reduce the noise emission of various underground coal-mining equipment and developed a suite of controls to reduce drilling noise.
-
4/1/2010 - Conference papersThe paper documents NIOSH research to date of a damped drill steel on a roof bolting machine.
-
Technology News 539 - Identifying The Benefits Of Engineering Noise Controls Through A Business Case12/1/2009 - Technology NewsNIOSH has been performing research to develop a business case that promotes adoption of noise controls by reducing barriers to industry acceptance and enhancing drivers that foster their implementation.
-
2/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the quiet-by-design approach of a noise control that reduced exposures of continuous mining machine operators by 3dB(A) using the four functional areas of Prevention through Design - Practice, Policy, Research, and Education.
-
1/1/2006 - Theses/DissertationsThis paper describes a research program implemented to measure sound power levels radiated by a roof bolting machine during differing drilling configurations and utilizing differing types of drilling methods in high compressive strength rock media.
