3/1/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article presenting an assessment of hearing conservation program compliance, and excessive noise exposure and hearing loss risks for both coal and non-coal mining divisions through evaluating MSHA citations.
-
1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo help manage noise exposures, the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) developed the Determination of Sound Exposures (DOSES) software and implementation guide for use by mine management and safety personnel.
-
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.
-
11/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is developing noise controls to reduce noise generated by horizontal vibrating screens.
-
7/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesOverexposure to noise remains a widespread, serious health hazard in the U.S. mining industries. Most other categories of illnesses and injuries associated with mining have improved, with the exception of hearing loss.
-
1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH is currently developing noise controls for horizontal vibrating screens.
-
3/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis report contains the description of studies conducted at U.S. western hard-rock mines to determine the levels of noise exposure of the miners.
-
10/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study examines noise exposure inside haul truck cabs during a typical workday involving normal operator practices, the effect of cab noise reduction features, the consequence of disabling noise controls, and the significance of maintenance.
-
9/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA dual sprocket conveyor chain for a CMM was examined both in the laboratory and in underground field studies to test the influence on lowering the sound power emissions of the chain conveyor of a CMM when compared to a standard chain.
-
7/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper presents the results of a NIOSH study in collaboration with Acoustical and Vibrations Engineering Consultants Inc. (AVEC) to determine the dominant noise sources on a vibrating screen machine at low frequencies, i.e., 250 to 1,000 Hz.
