6/1/2002 - Conference papersThis paper looks at the feasibility of using noncontact laser-based vibration measurements to detect roof fall hazards with the ultimate vision of improving, expanding and automating procedures for mine roof inspection.
-
6/1/2002 - Conference papersThis publication examines a procedure for measuring the response time of machine-mounted methane monitors
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersMine fires can be especially perilous because toxic products can quickly spread well beyond the fire zone thereby exposing all underground miners to dangerous and deadly conditions. This paper provides a review of the available materials and technology ...
-
6/1/2001 - Conference papersNIOSH has developed an entire toolbox of computer programs that have been effectively transferred to the mining community.
-
1/1/2001 - Conference papersThe importance of controlling respirable dust and methane gas levels in underground coal mining cannot be underestimated. While respirable dust can significantly affect the occupational health of underground coal miner, methane gas accumulations pose s...
-
1/1/2001 - Conference papersThis paper presents a technique for representing and analyzing random motions and hazardous events in a computer simulated three-dimensional workplace, providing machine designers and safety analysts with a new technique to evaluate ways to reduce opera...
-
6/1/1999 - Conference papersThis paper describes research to improve safety during transport of ore and waste in underground mines.
-
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 papersThis paper examines current design practices for stone mines and discusses issues for safe mine layouts so that a rational first approach towards balancing the demands for increased production can be weighed against increased risk to worker safety.
-
10/1/1998 - Conference papersGrowing concern from labor unions, regulatory agencies, and industry about the safety of a prevalent underground coal mining method which utilizes remote control has prompted human factors field evaluation of mining activities. To determine work methods...
