10/1/2008 - Information CircularsThis NIOSH pilot project demonstrated that most US mines have the capability to successfully implement an MHRA. The basic requirement for a successful MHRA is the desire to become more proactive in reducing risks associated with catastrophic events.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers used motion analysis data and digital human models to evaluate factors that precipitate struck-by injuries in the operation of remote continuous mining machines.
-
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 describes an alternative measure of risk in mining using a beta distribution to model the losses and to compare underground coal mining to underground metal/nonmetal mining from 2000 to 2004.
-
11/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses a method to determine the roof fall risk using a qualitative risk analysis technique.
-
11/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper concludes a five-year program on research into the use of a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer for analyzing lead in air sampling filters from different industrial environments, including mining, manufacturing and recycling.

Using Major Hazard Risk Assessment to Appraise and Manage Escapeway Instability Issues: A Case Study7/1/2007 - Conference papersMajor Hazard Risk Assessment is a process that identifies the characteristics of major hazards, ranks their risk, and evaluates controls to mitigate them. This approach was used at an underground mine with fire hazard and strata instability issues.
-
5/1/2007 - Information CircularsThe goal of this study is to help identify the location and likely severity of multiple-seam interactions. Mine planners can use this information to adjust the ground support, pillar design, or mine layout to minimize the hazard.
-
5/1/2007 - Information CircularsFor the past several years, NIOSH has been conducting research to develop better techniques for predicting the location and severity of multiple-seam interactions. This paper presents the background to that study.

6/1/2006 - Conference papers, NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsThe purpose of this study was to assess the adequacy of the cab design and to determine the percentage of musculoskeletal symptoms among operators of mobile equipment used in mining and construction.
