  1/1/1994 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  A volume of papers from the USBM focused on preventing specific types of mining accidents--ones associated with materials handling (primarily back injuries), equipment maintenance, improper machine guarding, and ground failure during retreat mining.
• Statistical Profile of Accidents at Small Underground Coal Mines
  1/1/1994 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  This paper provides statistical information on accidents, production, and employment at small U.S. underground coal mines.
• A Scientific Look at Back Belts
  1/1/1994 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  The U.S. Bureau of Mines reviewed literature relating to the effectiveness of back belts in the workplace.
• Pillar Design and Strategies for Retreat Mining
  1/1/1994 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  A computer program called Analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability (ARMPS) is field tested and refined in order to estimate abutment pressures developed during pillaring. It can be successfully employed to predict pillar line stability.

• Engineering Factors in the Ventilation of Metal Mines
  1/1/1935 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  In the belief that the quickest and cheapest method of obtaining effective ventilation of metal mines with regard to air conditions that promote efficiency, health, and safety is through more general application of the engineering factors involved rathe...
• Coal-Mine Ventilation Factors
  1/1/1929 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  Ventilation has been a primary problem in coal mining since mines were first worked under sufficient cover to encounter inflammable or other noxious gases. This report describes testing done to determine how volumes of air be taken from the atmosphere
