1/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper introduces two position adjustment methods for mine tracking systems which use a coplanar node-path network mine model as the foundation for their development.
-
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 papersThis paper describes research conducted to compare the performance, including response time and accuracy, of selected instruments using infrared and catalytic sensors.
-
6/1/2008 - Unpublished documents and reportsThis document supports Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) proposed rule making for the CPDM.
-
3/1/2008 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsThis user manual explains objectives that can be addressed with the NIOSH Hearing Loss Simulator and training scenarios applied to real-life, real worker scenarios. This guide explains the simulator's functions in detail.
-
3/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper presents details of the process integration, and several examples of task-specific interventions that reduced exposure to risk factors as a result of a partnership between NIOSH and the Badger Mining Corporation.
