11/1/2008 - Conference papersThis article discusses how narrative-based training has evolved and is likely to continue changing in the future using the Underground Coal Mine Map Reading Training (UCMMRT) developed by NIOSH.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThe paper provides: (a) a description of the gas pressure-based design approach to blasting, (b) a simple technique for estimating the damage radius of the buffer row of holes, and (c) a discussion of smoothwall design for the contour row of holes.

6/1/2008 - Conference papersAn alternative method to the original system developed by NIOSH and Unimin Corp to provide for a stand-alone clothes cleaning system.
-
8/1/2000 - Conference papersThe 1990s saw an unprecedented increase in technologies for more effective, easier to install roof support in underground mines. To facilitate application and improve mine safety, NIOSH developed the Support Technology Optimization Program (STOP).
-
1/1/1997 - Conference papersDiscusses a methodology to evaluate the causes of mishaps to develop recommendations to enhance safety. A specific case involves implementation of remotely controlled equipment in extended cut mining.
-
2/23/2014 - Conference papersThis manuscript details the process undertaken by researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Office of Mine Safety and Health Research to assess the safety culture at five underground coal mines across the United States.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper will review current and historic work practices used internationally to minimize the hazard to miners from mining in conditions which could produce a bump.
-
4/1/2007 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers are improving protection provided by enclosed cabs on mining equipment, reducing dust generation from surface drills, reducing dust levels in iron ore operations, and developing a new method to clean dust from soiled clothes.
-
2/1/2007 - Conference papersDuring the 20th century, the increased emphasis on worker health and safety and the advent of new mining equipment and methods led to many changes in mine face ventilation practices.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersDust from worker's clothes has been shown to be a problematic source of personal dust exposure. A recently completed effort between NIOSH and Unimin Corp. has resulted in a quick and effective way to clean worker clothing. Field testing indicated that t...
