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.
-
1/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper describes two algorithms that can provide greater accuracy for underground miner tracking systems.
-
1/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper introduces algorithms to locate miners with no need for external reference sensors. There are definitions of useful mathematical operations that can be performed on the node coordinates and includes a description of the algorithms.
-
2/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe results of this study by NIOSH have served to provide performance data in support of the procedures described in the international standard methods, for which such results were previously unavailable in the peer-reviewed literature.
-
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.
-
12/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis case study provides an example of how social marketing was applied to meet the needs of business customers in the mining industry.
-
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.
-
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.
-
6/1/2008 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report is the last of 10 report phases begun in 1982 and presents findings regarding laboratory-tested SCSRs in the tenth phase of testing, from July 2004 to March 2006.
-
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.
