1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the results of recent experiments comparing results from using the BELT and the large-scale tests for six different belts.
-
5/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses the impact of ventilation airflow on alarm times of the smoke detectors and video cameras, CO levels, smoke optical densities and smoke obscuration, total smoke mass concentrations, and fire heat release rates.
-
3/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH conducted full-scale fire suppression experiments, and this report discusses the large-scale experimental configuration, installation of the fire suppression system, and conclusions regarding the effect of air velocity and other factors.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersResearchers evaluated four different types of fire suppression systems to study the effect of air velocity on extinguishing conveyor belt fires. Details are presented on the large-scale fire test set-up and arrangement of fire suppression systems.
-
11/1/2008 - Information CircularsThe results of NIOSH's test of two commercially available proximity warning devices (PWDs) are presented. PWDs warn personnel if mobile equipment moves within some preselected minimum distance of an energized overhead electrical power line.
-
12/1/2007 - Unpublished documents and reportsThis final report was prepared by the Technical Study Panel on the Utilization of Belt Air and the Composition and Fire Retardant Properties of Belt Materials in Underground Coal Mining. It provides a review and recommendations concerning the utilizatio...
-
2/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes three mechanical methods - the mobile manipulator, the in-mine hoist, and a cable-handling system - developed by NIOSH to reduce injuries related to handling supplies or material, loading and unloading, and moving power cables.
-
3/1/2006 - Conference papersA computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program was applied to fire spread along combustibles in a ventilated mine entry. The rate of flame spread was evaluated for the ribs and roof of a coal mine entry, timber sets, and a conveyor belt.
-
7/11/2023 - Research projectsA project to develop interventions to reduce traumatic injuries and fatalities that occur during operation and maintenance activities on conveyors.
-
2/1/2021 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article presents a feasibility assessment of a fully integrated, commercially available wireless Internet of Things (IoT) system to improve situational awareness around conveyor systems.
