Use this guide to design seating for undergound mobile mining equipment.
-
This page provides design guidelines to follow for proper workstation design for underground mining equipment.
-
The guidelines in this report are to be used as a tool to identify areas or conditions that could impact the long-term stability of an underground fluid retention system and to give direction in addressing these situations.
-
Injury data show a dramatic reduction in roof skin injuries when screening is used. Five case studies in which roof screen was used are presented along with the costs of materials, impact on bolting advance rates, and potential ergonomic risks.
-
Roof screening has been found to be very effective in controlling the fall of small rocks from the immediate roof surface. Data is presented from two mines that show a dramatic reduction in roof skin injuries when screening is used.
-
This paper presents an overview of the most significant ground control hazards facing today's mineworkers, as well as best practices to reduce these risks.
-
This study addresses several engineering and economic facets of possible roll-over protective structure (ROPS) and falling object protection structure (FOPS) requirements in the metal-nonmetal mining industry.
-
This handbook was developed to identify available engineering controls that can assist underground and surface metal/nonmetal mining operations in reducing worker exposure to respirable silica dust.
-
This handbook was developed to identify available engineering controls that can help the industry reduce worker exposure to respirable coal and silica dust.
