6/1/2011 - Guides and manuals, Reports of InvestigationsRefuge alternatives are airtight, reinforced shelters that underground coal miners can enter during a mine emergency. This publication provides recommendations for training miners in how to operate a refuge chamber.
-
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.
-
3/1/2004 - Reports of InvestigationsHighly stressed rock in stopes continues to be a primary safety risk for miners in underground mines because this condition can result in failures of ground that lead to both injuries and death.
-
2/1/2003 - Reports of InvestigationsNIOSH is evaluating methods to decrease accidents including one that uses devices that assist equipment operators in monitoring blind areas around the equipment to prevent collisions with workers on foot or other objects.
-
7/1/2000 - Reports of InvestigationsShort-dumping rather than edge-dumping might reduce dumping-related accidents, but many operators believe it is less cost effective. To evaluate this perception, NIOSH reviewed the costs of various dumping methods at waste and spoil piles.
-
4/1/2015 - Reports of InvestigationsA report on a research study to document and develop safe practices for the use of shotcrete as ground support in underground mines, particularly in underground metal mines operating in weak host rock.
-

-
12/1/2002 - Reports of InvestigationsEvaluation of the strength characteristics and air leakage resistance of numerous innovative seal designs and ventilation control structures for use in underground coal mines.
-
8/1/1999 - Reports of InvestigationsNIOSH cooperated with Tecrete Industries Pty. Ltd. and BHP Australia Coal to evaluate the strength characteristics and air leakage of four seal and two stopping designs for use in underground coal mines.
-
