10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to develop guidelines for determining the appropriate level of support and design methods for support systems to minimize the risk and severity of injuries to miners from rib falls in underground coal mines.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to reduce the likelihood of knee injuries in low-seam coal miners through a systematic approach that includes the development of guidelines for improved personal protective equipment and interventions.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to develop and evaluate noise controls and alternatives toward reducing sound pressure levels and personal noise exposures from air carbon arcing applications in the mining industry to below permissible exposure limit.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to identify and define the theoretical constructs for risk perception and tolerance from the perspective of the sand, stone, and gravel mine worker and determine how these perspectives influence their decisionmaking processes.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to reduce exposures of underground miners to diesel particulate matter and gases through implementation of control technologies and understanding of the risks associated with exposure to diesel engine emissions.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to develop guidelines to assess ventilation effectiveness in underground coal mines using improved sampling protocols and defining optimal instrument locations for continuous-reading airflow and methane monitors.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to implement in-mine seismic monitoring techniques in coal mines to evaluate and demonstrate potential mine safety benefits of this technology.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to address the paucity of guidance in available literature for assessing the design an underground longwall coal mine for safe ground response to mining with numerical stress analysis tools.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to make recommendations and guide policy or program decisions regarding the safety of batteries used in underground coal mines.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to work with a consultant, Human Performance Analysis, to assess the safety culture at U.S. coal mines.
