7/1/2009 - Technology NewsNIOSH has been performing research to analyze and reduce hazardous noise exposure in mines.
-
5/1/2009 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsThis manual describes the Determination of Sound Exposures (DOSES) software developed by NIOSH for use by mine management and safety personnel to simplify record keeping and analysis associated with time-motion studies and worker noise exposures.
-
5/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis report describes research by NIOSH to reduce the noise exposures of jackleg drill operators and to prevent additional cases of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) by developing and evaluating low-cost retrofit noise controls for equipment.
-
4/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis report describes an investigation by NIOSH researchers to quantify sound levels and to determine the amount of sound reduction provided by engineering noise controls installed in a talc processing plant.
-
1/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes NIOSH research to evaluate noise generated by a roof bolting machine and its components. Results are given for two engineering controls for the roof bolting machine: a bit isolator and a drill chuck isolator.
-
10/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes research to control dominant noise sources in continuous miners. This work ranks noise radiated by different conveyor sections and determines the effect of a urethane-coated tail roller on the noise radiated by the tail section.
-
9/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe objectives of this study by NIOSH were to assess driver whole-body vibration (WBV) exposures and recommend interventions to reduce the risk of back-related injuries, particularly relative to vehicle jarring/jolting.
-
9/1/2008 - Technology NewsResearch conducted by NIOSH has focused on producing noise treatments to reduce noise generated by the Roof Bolting Machine. A drill steel enclosure for reducing roof bolting machine drilling noise has been developed as an engineering control.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes and evaluates an engineering noise control for the roof bolting machine, namely the collapsible drill steel enclosure.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper provides detailed information on the findings of NIOSH research measuring the sound power level generated by a horizontal vibrating screen with the screen either directly on the floor or on rubber isolation pads.
