3/1/2008 - Conference papersSome surprising results were revealed in this study designed and implemented by NIOSH to evaluate the effectiveness of pre-driven longwall recovery rooms supported with pumpable concrete roof supports.
-
2/1/2008 - Conference papersThis NIOSH study presents an approach for prediction of methane inflow rates using coalbed methane reservoir modeling which can be used to limit the methane concentrations occurring as a result of the influences of various coalbed and operational parame...
-
9/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper discusses methods for protecting U.S. underground coal mines from explosions of methane gas and coal dust, and presents new research, such as the Coal Dust Explosibility Meter, a handheld device to directly measure coal dust explosibility.
-
9/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper summarizes existing dust control technologies routinely being used in underground coal mine operations, and provides a review of new controls that are being pursued.
-
7/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper describes some successful techniques and machine modifications that were evaluated for ergonomic considerations and are being used in productive mines to assist with roof screen installation.
-
6/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper briefly describes the progress in mine safety in the United States, with emphasis on recent events that have followed since the explosion at the Sago Mine in January 2006. Legislation following the mine accidents in 2006 and areas of work car...

12/1/2006 - Conference papersA highly durable polyurethane coating has been developed for chain flights to decrease noise from metal-on-metal impacts. This paper evaluates this engineering noise control in reducing the noise exposure of continuous mining machine operators.
-
9/1/2006 - Conference papersDiscusses past NIOSH research that has helped to reduce hazards, accidents, and health issues in mining, as well as current NIOSH research priorities and the impact of the MINER Act of 2006.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersA method is presented for creating realistic numerical models for practical coal mine ground control. This procedure enables realistic comparisons of the effectiveness of alternative rock support systems.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersMSHA's reports and mining database were analyzed, and interviews and observations with mine workers and welders were conducted to determine the root causes of coal mine fires and explosions caused by flame cutting and welding operations.
