10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to deliver practices, methodologies, and strategies to the industry to improve ventilation effectiveness in underground metal/nonmetal (M/NM) operations to increase control of airborne contaminants in deep mines.
-
4/1/2015 - Reports of InvestigationsA report on a research study to document and develop safe practices for the use of shotcrete as ground support in underground mines, particularly in underground metal mines operating in weak host rock.
-
3/1/2013 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report presents a new concept in perimeter control blasting for underground mine drifting applications focusing on the importance of the buffer holes in a blast design.
-
11/9/2012 - Unpublished documents and reportsA pair of new handbooks from NIOSH to identify and promote engineering controls to protect mine workers from overexposures to dust.
-
9/28/2012 - News articlesIn light of recent accidents in metal mines, some fatal, NIOSH OMSHR is again studying the use of cemented fill in mining operations.
