8/1/1998 - Conference papersA design technique is presented which provides stone miners with a method for making stability assessments. The consequences of widening rooms, changing geology and horizontal stresses, and different rock bolts on roof beam failure are discussed.
-
1/1/1997 - Conference papersDiscusses a methodology to evaluate the causes of mishaps to develop recommendations to enhance safety. A specific case involves implementation of remotely controlled equipment in extended cut mining.
-
11/1/2015 - Conference papersA conference paper describing a study that represents the first documented empirical attempt at evaluating the effectiveness of virtual reality training for mine rescue teams in the United States.
-
2/23/2014 - Conference papersThis manuscript details the process undertaken by researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Office of Mine Safety and Health Research to assess the safety culture at five underground coal mines across the United States.
-
11/1/2013 - Conference papersA NIOSH study investigating the potential for lithium-ion battery thermal runaway from an internal short circuit in equipment approved as permissible for use in underground coal mines.
-
11/1/2010 - Conference papersTo assess benefits of hearing protection devices for prevention of noise-induced hearing loss in miners, NIOSH tested the impact of nine electronic sound restoration hearing protectors on speech intelligibility in selected mining background noises.
-
9/1/2010 - Conference papersThis study assessed the difference between free cadence walking versus stoopwalking (under a 1.2-m ceiling), four-point crawling (hands and knees), and two-point crawling (knees only), both with and without kneepads.
-
9/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH conducted large-scale explosion experiments at the Lake Lynn Experimental Mine to investigate the inerting effect of limestone rock dust. Flame travel was measured using a conventional test and results were compared to a newer method.
-
9/1/2010 - Conference papersThe objective of this work was to profile injuries sustained during haul truck operations, to identify priorities for further investigation, and to determine potential injury prevention strategies.
-
9/1/2010 - Conference papersTo encourage mining companies to implement knee injury training programs and interventions, NIOSH performed an analysis of workers’ compensation data for one underground coal mine in Illinois and six in Pennsylvania.
