2/20/2020 - Research projectsA project that adopts a multifaceted approach to investigate slips, trips, and falls (STF), develops tools to identify, report, and remediate STF hazards, and provides recommendations on ingress/egress systems on mobile mining equipment and footwear.
-
2/18/2020 - Research projectsA project to provide a real-time method for determining the size and location of an underground mine fire, and the spread of smoke and toxic gases throughout the mine ventilation network, using data from atmospheric monitoring systems (AMS) and MFIRE 3.0.
-
2/18/2020 - Research projectsA project to develop control interventions to reduce occupational exposure to silica and other respirable dusts in metal/nonmetal mines and mills.
-
1/9/2020 - Research projectsA project to develop durable noise controls that reduce the noise exposure of jumbo drill operators and facilitate the commercialization of the controls to make them available for all miners.
-
10/5/2019 - Research projectsTo develop and evaluate technologies and approaches to improve effective dust controls to reduce respirable coal mine dust (RCMD) exposures in coal mines, focusing on reducing respirable quartz dust (RQD).
-
5/9/2019 - Research projectsA project to minimize the risk of heat illness for miners entering an RA, ensure the availability of air delivery and purging systems for RAs, facilitate the use of BIP RAs, and develop a reliable communications system for RAs.
-
4/2/2019 - Research projectsA project to define workplace fatigue for the mining industry by developing a preliminary fatigue model and management system using a human factors systems approach, which accounts for the predictors causing fatigue.
-
4/2/2019 - Research projectsA project to assess whether vibration intensity can successfully be measured on heavy-duty mining equipment and the human body simultaneously using technology capable of evaluating hand-arm vibration (HAV) and its possible translation to the hearing canal.
-
3/6/2019 - Research projectsA project to establish a program that assesses and tracks miner health and hazard exposures to determine needs for targeted intervention and research that will reduce occupational illnesses and improve miners’ health in the U.S.
-
2/21/2019 - Research projectsA project to characterize the essential components of the mine emergency escape system and develop interventions designed to improve system preparedness and self-escape training of underground coal mining personnel.
