• Coal Dust Explosibility Meter Evaluation and Recommendations for Application
  8/15/2012 - Information Circulars
  This IC details a NIOSH investigation on the CDEM’s ability to accurately predict the explosibility of coal and rock dust mixtures. The conclusions support the field use of the CDEM to measure the explosibility of coal and rock dust mixtures.
• Data Detectives: How NIOSH Mining Corrected a Century-old Error
  4/9/2021 - Data and statistics, News and announcements
  A feature describing data from 1911 that was misreported as a mine disaster.
• Health and Safety Management Systems Through a Multilevel and Strategic Management Perspective: Theoretical and Empirical Considerations
  2/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Multilevel and strategic management theory and research methods are presented and applied to current issues in occupational health and safety, the goal to better understand health and safety management systems from a theoretical and empirical perspective.
• Noise Source Identification on a Horizontal Vibrating Screen
  7/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper presents the results of a NIOSH study in collaboration with Acoustical and Vibrations Engineering Consultants Inc. (AVEC) to determine the dominant noise sources on a vibrating screen machine at low frequencies, i.e., 250 to 1,000 Hz.
• Using Persuasive Messages to Encourage Voluntary Hearing Protection Among Coal Miners
  1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This field study encouraged coal miners in WV and PA to engage in hearing protection behaviors. Responses from 307 coal miners showed that positive or neutral messages generated more self-reported hearing protection behaviors than negative messages.
• Validity and Reliability of Sincerity Test for Dynamic Trunk Motions
  2/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A performance criterion is described that identifies sincere vs insincere group membership during functional evaluations of dynamic trunk motion performance. Examiners evaluated participants to quantify inter-rater and test-retest reliability.
• Performance Evaluation of a Dust-Dispersion Model for Haul Trucks
  1/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper presents the results of testing of the Dynamic Component Program model with the ISC3 model of predicting dispersion of dust from haul trucks at two surface mine sites.
• Mine Aerosol Measurement
  9/1/2001 - Book chapters
  A summary of aerosol measurement technology currently used in the U.S. mining industry as it relates to regulation, research and personal exposure monitoring.
• The Effects of Low Quartz Mass Loading and Spatial Variability on the Quartz Analysis of Surface Coal Mine Dust Samples
  9/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The objectives of this work are to 1) evaluate the performance of the P7 method on field samples of low quartz mass loadings, 2) evaluate the magnitude of dust mass spatial variability within an enclosed cab environment, and 3) estimate the subsequent p...
• Use of Strain-Gauged Rock Bolts to Measure Rock Mass Strain During Drift Development
  6/1/1999 - Conference papers
  An experiment is described in which instrumented rock bolts were used to measure strain in the rock mass during drift development at the Stillwater Mine, Nye, Montana, USA.
