• Analysis of Health and Safety Management System Practices Through Multilevel Interventions
  2/21/2020 - Research projects
  Identify and characterize H&S performance practices through worker-technology-management interactions to provide guidance about risk processes with a focus on management of site risks and improvement in H&S values through empowering initiatives.
• Advancement of Refuge Alternatives for Underground Coal Mines
  5/9/2019 - Research projects
  A project to minimize the risk of heat illness for miners entering an RA, ensure the availability of air delivery and purging systems for RAs, facilitate the use of BIP RAs, and develop a reliable communications system for RAs.
• Develop Mining Fatigue Model and Management System
  4/2/2019 - Research projects
  A project to define workplace fatigue for the mining industry by developing a preliminary fatigue model and management system using a human factors systems approach, which accounts for the predictors causing fatigue.
• Characterization of Haul Truck Health and Safety Issues
  3/12/2019 - Research projects
  A project to inform future health and safety research related to powered haulage by identifying health and safety issues related to haul trucks through a systematic evaluation of accidents, operators’ needs, and technology maturity.
• Mining Applications of Novel Interventions for Fatigue--Evaluating Safety Toolkits (MANIFEST)
  12/16/2018 - Research projects
  A project to develop evidence-based fatigue toolkits, enabling mines to sustainably and independently measure fatigue, interpret fatigue assessments, and select, implement, and evaluate appropriate interventions related to mineworker fatigue.
• Increasing the Effectiveness of Targeted Mining Hearing Conservation Program Elements
  2/28/2018 - Research projects
  A project to identify and remediate actual and perceived barriers to full implementation of hearing conservation programs at surface stone, sand, and gravel mines.
• Assessing and Evaluating Human Systems Integration Needs in Mining
  6/12/2017 - Research projects
  A project to use a systems approach to characterize what information needs to be provided to mine workers, determine the timing and format of that information, and then use this information to develop alternatives to interfaces design.
• Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP)
  6/5/2017 - Research projects
  A project to maintain a Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP) designed to identify the incidence and progression of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis in all coal miners.
• Communications and Tracking Systems Modeling and Performance
  3/13/2017 - Research projects
  A project to enhance the understanding of underground mining communication and tracking system performance through the development and validation of radio signal propagation models.
