12/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH research indicates that LEDs can enhance safety by improving a miner’s ability to see hazards and by reducing glare. This paper considers whether LEDs can also reduce miner exposure to hazards during maintenance and operation of LED lighting.
-
10/1/2009 - Conference papersThe main objective of the NIOSH research outlined in this paper was to explore the existence of visual performance improvements through the implementation of different machine mounted, lighting systems.
-
1/1/1994 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsThe U.S. Bureau of Mines has developed an easy to use personal computer-based software package to aid in the analysis of the visibility and illumination aspects of mining equipment design.
-
1/1/1986 - Guides and manuals, Information CircularsThe purpose of the report is to insure an understanding of the numerous complex and interrelated factors that must be considered to design and implement a mine lighting system.
-
1/1/1986 - Guides and manuals, Information CircularsThis report discusses system design criteria and procedures, data and specifications to aid in selection of suitable mine lighting hardware, and guidelines for system installation and maintenance.
-
1/9/2024 - Research projectsTo investigate the feasibility and efficacy of human-centric lighting (HCL) interventions to reduce mineworker circadian disruption (CD) and improve well-being for underground metal and coal miners.
-
9/1/2021 - Non-peer reviewed journal articlesAn overview of human-centric lighting (HCL) with a description of NIOSH's current HCL research and why it is important to miner safety and health.
-
6/1/2020 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA report on the NIOSH-developed Saturn LED area light's ability to reduce glare that has typically been an issue for roof bolter operators.
-
3/10/2020 - Research projectsA project to reduce the risk of fatalities and serious injuries by using human visual performance data to develop specifications for visual cues and technologies that will improve situational awareness and decisionmaking during self-escape.
-
11/25/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper quantifies luminance photometer measurement errors when measuring light sources commonly used in U.S. underground coal mines.
