4/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis NIOSH study determined if new LED-based cap lamp technology has an impact on visual performance in the context of detecting trip hazards for the visual environment of an underground coal mine.
-
4/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses large-scale experiments conducted by NIOSH to evaluate the effectiveness of optical flame detectors, photoelectric smoke detectors, and combined ionization/photoelectric smoke detectors for detecting mining equipment cab fires.
-
4/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study used the MSHA database on accidents, injury, and illness from the years 2003-2007 to examine how age and experience at the current mine, total years experience as a coal miner, and experience in the current job affects injury severity.
-
3/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis report contains the description of studies conducted at U.S. western hard-rock mines to determine the levels of noise exposure of the miners.
