4/2/2019 - Research projectsA 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.
-
3/1/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article that aims to concisely review what is and is not known about worker fatigue in mining.
-
12/16/2018 - Research projectsA 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.
-
12/3/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article demonstrating that international equipment evaluation standards for electrical/electronic equipment will provide at least the same level of protection for miners as the MSHA requirements.
-
11/1/2018 - Non-peer reviewed journal articlesA report on one company’s efforts to improve its mineworkers’ self-escape competencies using competency-based performance management strategies, including assessment and remediation processes.
-

4/1/2018 - Non-peer reviewed journal articlesA trade publication article that focuses on the need for coal miners to designate an on-site responsible person (RP) during a mine emergency.
-
3/1/2018 - Non-peer reviewed journal articlesA trade publication article discussing a NIOSH study that aimed to find what individual miners have learned about their exposure based on CPDM use, the corrective actions identified, and their responsive, behavioral changes to reduce dust exposure.
-
3/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study focusing on one trona mine’s experience in the development and implementation of a field-level risk assessment program to help its organization understand and manage risk to an acceptable level.
