11/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNoncontact electric arc burns are the most common cause of electrical injury in mining according to data for 1990 through 2001. Results from a NIOSH study of arc flash hazards in mining and recommendations to reduce these injuries are presented.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper reviews the 100-year history of federal electrical safety research in the U.S mining industry, originally by the US Bureau of Mines, and as carried on today by NIOSH.
-
This video focuses on individual and organizational behavior related to arc flash events over an 11-year period in the mining industry.
-
9/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThere are potential detrimental effects of capacitance charging currents during line-to-ground faults in mine power distribution systems. A representative mine power system is modeled, and simulations with faults at various locations are conducted.
-
1/1/2002 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH investigated how the starting of induction motors may cause nuisance tripping of short-circuit protection on coal mine power systems.
-
3/13/2024 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract with the Missouri University of Science & Technology to investigate real-time ground movement monitoring for improved safety near large excavations using distributed fiber optic sensing.
-
8/1/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article introdcuing NIOSH’s two-phase implementation of an IoT-based intelligent machine monitoring system.
-
3/1/2019 - Non-peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing the design and field deployment of a proof-of-concept wireless IoT solution to monitor machinery and conveyors during operation and maintenance.
-
12/3/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article demonstrating that international equipment evaluation standards for electrical/electronic equipment will provide at least the same level of protection for miners as the MSHA requirements.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to investigate the implementation and integration of existing and emerging technologies in surface and underground mines to provide automatic, intelligent protections against traumatic injuries.
