• Inexperience as a Contributor to Workplace Injury
  1/9/2024 - Research projects
  A project to characterize the effect that inexperience has on risk of injury and to reduce related risks for miners new to the industry, to specific worksites, or to their jobs or tasks.
• Information Dissemination during Mine Emergencies
  11/28/2023 - Research projects
  A project to develop an eLearning module to share with potential command center leaders and mine rescue team members to help them successfully mitigate the risks to endangered workers and responders during mine emergencies.
• Intelligent Safety Technology for Mining Machinery
  10/22/2016 - Research projects

• Inventive Methods for Evaluating the Translation of Hand-arm Vibration to the Ear Canal in Miners
  4/2/2019 - Research projects
  A 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.
• Investigating Mining Practices and Respirable Crystalline Silica Exposures in Underground Coal Mines
  12/28/2023 - Research projects
  A project to examine past and current coal mining practices and to identify potential trends, gaps in effective respirable crystalline silica exposure sampling and monitoring, and/or associations with geographic regions of high lung disease rates.
• Investigation of Enhanced Refuge Alternatives
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to provide the underlying scientific evidence that addresses, minimizes, and, where possible, eliminates the concerns miners have about using a refuge alternative after a mine disaster.
• Investigation of Methane Control and Ventilation Effectiveness in Gassy Longwall Mines
  11/28/2023 - Research projects
  A pilot project to provide quantitative data on the performance of an operator’s existing methane control system, changes occurring in the gas in place near the mine, and an assessment of the mine’s ventilation system.
• Investigation of Simple Cost Effective Whole-Body Vibration Measure Tools: Capabilities, Vibration Measures, & Expansion
  1/2/2019 - Research projects
  A project to assess the accuracy of the whole-body vibration app and determine if its capabilities can be expanded to include seat transmissibility.
