1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH is currently developing noise controls for horizontal vibrating screens.
-
4/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper presents an acoustic assessment of pneumatic and electric jackleg drills involving Noise Source Identification (NSID), penetration rate measurements, operator’s cumulative noise dose measurements, and determination of sound power levels.
-
4/1/2010 - Conference papersThis article presents the most significant findings from NIOSH research to develop noise controls that reduce the sound at the operator’s position of mining machinery.
-
4/1/2010 - Conference papersThe paper documents NIOSH research to date of a damped drill steel on a roof bolting machine.
-
3/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis report contains the description of studies conducted at U.S. western hard-rock mines to determine the levels of noise exposure of the miners.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH has developed several new hearing loss prevention tools and interventions that specifically target behavioral and attitudinal barriers that keep miners from effectively acting to prevent their own hearing loss.
-
11/1/2009 - Technology NewsNIOSH has been performing research to reduce operator exposure to noise from vibrating screens at coal preparation plants.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersNIOSH is developing bit and chuck isolators to reduce vibration, and thus noise radiation of the drill steel, with the longer-term goal of reducing roof bolting machine operator noise exposure.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper describes NIOSH research to develop noise controls for mining equipment whose operators exceed the Permissible Exposure Level (PEL). Two alternative approaches are explored to the conventional beamforming algorithm.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersFor horizontal vibrating screens, NIOSH testing indicates that the screen sides and feed box are dominant noise sources for the 250 Hz through 800 Hz one-third octave bands, while the electric motor is the most significant source for the 1 kHz band.
