11/1/2008 - Conference papersThis article discusses how narrative-based training has evolved and is likely to continue changing in the future using the Underground Coal Mine Map Reading Training (UCMMRT) developed by NIOSH.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersAn alternative method to the original system developed by NIOSH and Unimin Corp to provide for a stand-alone clothes cleaning system.
-
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).

9/1/2010 - 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.
-
4/1/2007 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers are improving protection provided by enclosed cabs on mining equipment, reducing dust generation from surface drills, reducing dust levels in iron ore operations, and developing a new method to clean dust from soiled clothes.
-
2/1/2007 - Conference papersDuring the 20th century, the increased emphasis on worker health and safety and the advent of new mining equipment and methods led to many changes in mine face ventilation practices.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersDust from worker's clothes has been shown to be a problematic source of personal dust exposure. A recently completed effort between NIOSH and Unimin Corp. has resulted in a quick and effective way to clean worker clothing. Field testing indicated that t...

2/1/2004 - Conference papersA study of heat stress exposures among mine rescue workers in underground mines. Investigating several engineering controls, such as cooling the air inhaled by rescuers through an apparatus, wearing cooling vests, and supplying thru the CCBA.
-
9/1/2003 - Conference papersResearchers have developed a miniature data acquisition system (MIDAS) that can measure resistance changes and temperature, store data for later retrieval, and illuminate LED lights. This instrument can be used with strain-gaged bolts, cable bolts, CSIR...
