This report addresses the functional safety of processor-controlled mining equipment. It is part of a risk-based system safety process encompassing hardware, software, humans, and the operating environment for the equipment's life cycle.
-
8/1/2000 - Conference papersThe 1990s saw an unprecedented increase in technologies for more effective, easier to install roof support in underground mines. To facilitate application and improve mine safety, NIOSH developed the Support Technology Optimization Program (STOP).
-
9/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAlmost every process has a predecessor, and studying the predecessor helps to define needs and shortcomings to be addressed. This paper illustrates how such an approach was used to assess remote machine operation in underground coal mines.
-
1/1/1997 - Conference papersDiscusses a methodology to evaluate the causes of mishaps to develop recommendations to enhance safety. A specific case involves implementation of remotely controlled equipment in extended cut mining.
-
12/5/2023 - 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.
-
11/29/2023 - Research projectsA pilot project to engage the mining industry through a participatory evaluation approach to facilitate the tailoring of opioid awareness training resources and guidance for mine operators and other interested parties.
-
11/27/2023 - Research projectsA project to maintain the use of hazard and health data to guide and improve workplace policies and procedures, thereby informing priorities for research and interventions to improve miners’ health and well-being.
-
11/21/2023 - Research projectsA project to identify where and how fatigue, substance use/misuse, and health hazard recognition and risk management intersect.
-
11/21/2023 - Research projectsA project to better understand the specific needs of women mine workers and develop a framework to guide the design and redesign of work systems to more equitably address the needs of diverse workers.
