10/1/1999 - Reports of InvestigationsA performance comparison of 14 rescue breathing apparatus was undertaken as an assessment of past and present worldwide technology. Rescue breathing apparatus are self-contained, closed-circuit breathing apparatus used for entry into areas having atmosp...
-
10/1/1999 - Conference papersA Mine Safety and Health Administration-permissible load rate monitoring system was developed.
-
9/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA mine shaft is the lifeline to underground mines. Mine operators depend on safe, uninterrupted, and efficient movement of workers and materials. The shaft and hoisting system provides access to the network of openings used to recover the underground ...

3/1/1999 - Conference papersTo help mitigate the potential for falls-of-ground injuries to underground stone miners, NIOSH developed the Roof Monitoring Safety System (RMSS) to aid in monitoring dangerous levels of roof beam deflection.
-
1/1/1999 - Conference papersThe process of drilling and bolting the roof is currently one of the most dangerous jobs in underground mining, resulting in about 1,000 accidents with injuries each year in the United States. To increase the safety of underground miners, researchers f...

8/1/1998 - Conference papersThis paper describes the potential adaption of systems such as interferometric synthetic aperture radar, imaging spectroscopy, and time-domain reflectometry, to slope monitoring and design.
-
1/1/1995 - Conference papersIn addition to developing various types of cool-interface detection systems, the US Bureau of Mines is actively involved in developing a coal rib-thickness monitoring system for highwall mining applications. One particular system to detect the coal-air ...

1/1/1992 - Reports of InvestigationsThe U.S. Bureau of Mines has developed an intrinsically safe carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring system for mines by coupling a fiber-optic data telemetry system with a prototype electrochemical CO monitor.
-
1/1/1992 - Information CircularsReviews the mechanics of rib failure and the relationship of coal mine geology and pillar constraint to rib instability. Strategies for choosing an effective method of rib support are considered and various rib support methods are discussed.
