• How to use the Coal Dust Explosibility Meter
  4/18/2013 - Training materials, Videos and multimedia
  This is a series of 5 videos explaining how to use the coal dust explosibility meter.
• Derating Factors for Round and Flat Mine Trailing Cables
  9/17/2012 - Safety guidelines, tips, and checklists, Unpublished documents and reports
  Concerns about the present derating factors used for reeled trailing cables prompted researchers at the NIOSH to determine new derating factors for reeled coal mining trailing cables.
• Reduced Workers’ Compensation Costs With Roof Screening
  9/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper quantifies potential savings in WC premiums due to a reduction in rock fall injuries after roof screening in Pennsylvania’s underground coal mines. Two hypothetical mines with realistic injury and WC premium estimates were used.
• Coal Dust Explosibility Meter Evaluation and Recommendations for Application
  8/15/2012 - Information Circulars
  This IC details a NIOSH investigation on the CDEM’s ability to accurately predict the explosibility of coal and rock dust mixtures. The conclusions support the field use of the CDEM to measure the explosibility of coal and rock dust mixtures.
• A CART Technique to Adjust Production from Longwall Coal Operations under Ventilation Constraints
  3/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The CART-based model that is given in this paper can be used to predict methane emission rates and to adjust operation parameters under ventilation constrains in longwall mining.
• Evaluation of the Approach to Respirable Quartz Exposure Control in U.S. Coal Mines
  2/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The performance of the current regulatory approach was found to be lacking due to the use of a variable property - quartz content in airborne dust - to establish a standard for subsequent exposures.
• An Analysis of Reservoir Conditions and Responses in Longwall Panel Overburden During Mining and its Effect on Gob Gas Well Performance
  2/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
