11/1/2011 - Reports of Investigations, Training materialsNonverbal Communication for Mine Emergencies is a training program that teaches miners a series of nonverbal hand signals to use in the event of an emergency. These hand signals can be used by miners if they are unable to communicate verbally.
-
10/1/2011 - Technology NewsThis technology is used to map communications and tracking coverage in underground mines. It is important to know coverage of these systems during a mine emergency.
-
9/1/2011 - Technology NewsPossible benefits of the use of reverse RFID for personnel tracking are: improvements in accuracy, the ability to interface to a variety of mine communications infrastructures, better system survivability, and easier installation and maintenance.
-
12/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo encourage mining companies to implement knee injury training programs and interventions, NIOSH performed an analysis of workers’ compensation data for one underground coal mine in Illinois and six in Pennsylvania.
-
9/1/2010 - Conference papersThe objective of this work was to profile injuries sustained during haul truck operations, to identify priorities for further investigation, and to determine potential injury prevention strategies.
-
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.
