1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the production of high-expansion firefighting foam and discusses the in-mine experimental tests and results.
-
1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesStudy results of the role of various ventilation rates in the spontaneous heating of coal in underground mines found that there is an optimum ventilation flow to produce the maximum rate of temperature rise at the critical ambient temperature.
-
12/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesMany rock fall injuries can be prevented with roof screen, but many coal mines are reluctant to use it due to added cost. This study looked at potential savings in workers' compensation premiums due reduced rock fall injuries after roof screening.
-
10/1/2010 - Information Circulars, Training materialsEmergency escape and refuge alternatives was created by a multidisciplinary team at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to teach miners about emergency escape and using refuge alternatives. The training is a Microsoft Power...

10/1/2010 - Information Circulars, Training materialsHow to Operate a Refuge Chamber: A Quick Start Guide was created by researchers at NIOSH to be used as a template for mine instructors to modify based on the refuge chambers used at their mine.
-
9/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper describes the first phase of research aimed at understanding explosion pressures that can develop in coal mines and the factors that lead to high explosion pressure and possible transition to detonation.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper discusses factors that could result in a potential undetected dust explosion hazard, when using current dust sampling procedures, in an area that otherwise appears to be adequately protected with rock dust.
-
6/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper provides a summary of work done in a study on fires and explosions in underground U.S. coal mines that were caused by flame cutting and welding operations to determine the root causes of these types of fires and explosions.
-
5/1/2010 - Reports of InvestigationsThis NIOSH report presents the results of extensive in-mine coal dust particle size surveys of dust samples collected from intake airways in 61 U.S. coal mines, representing all 10 MSHA bituminous Coal Mine Safety and Health Districts.
-
5/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesCurrent research is addressing many machine safety issues in both underground and surface mining. This study identified some specific miner activities and machine types that may need further attention.
