2/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing the results of a field test to verify the effectiveness of MERV 16 filters in the enclosed cab filtration systems on a face drill and roof bolting mining machine, which were tested at an underground limestone mine.
-
4/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses large-scale experiments conducted by NIOSH to evaluate the effectiveness of optical flame detectors, photoelectric smoke detectors, and combined ionization/photoelectric smoke detectors for detecting mining equipment cab fires.
-
10/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH recently performed a laboratory study to evaluate which factors on an enclosed-cab filtration system are most significant.
-
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.
-
5/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH research on reducing heavy equipment operator exposure to dust is detailed in this report.
-
1/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH experimental investigation results indicate that the intake filter efficiency and recirculation filter were the two most influential factors on cab protection performance.
-
12/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes a study that assessed the repeatability of a cab design checklist developed to evaluate various design characteristics that can influence exposure to risk factors for musculoskeletal discomfort.
-
12/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses the results of a collaboration with a local drilling company to design and install a partial cab between the operator and the drill steel in an effort to reduce the sound level at the operator station of a surface drill rig.
-
10/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDuring a recent NIOSH field evaluation of a newly designed filtration and pressurization system for an enclosed cab of a surface drill, it was determined that the drill operator's respirable-dust exposure was significantly increased during time periods ...
-
5/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper summarizes a NIOSH investigation of engineering noise controls to reduce sound levels in cabs on air-rotary drill rigs. Results revealed that some drillers are exposed to A-weighted sound levels exceeding 85 dB even though a cab is used.
