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.
-
9/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper discusses changes that new legislation and regulations are making to the U.S. coal mining industry, and current research that is producing technologies to make mining safer.

4/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this study, the operators of a limestone mine retrofitted a loader used for clean-up operations with a passive DPF that was lightly catalyzed and used a fuel additive to initiate regeneration at low exhaust temperatures.
-
1/1/2009 - Historical information, PublicationsNIOSH researchers reviewed mining fatality surveillance data from the period 1900-2006, and using MSHA reports collected additional data on the deaths and circumstances associated with the Sago, Alma, and Darby incidents. They also reviewed published ma...
-
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.
