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.
-
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.
-
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.
