2/4/2012 - PC softwareSoftware to simplify the record-keeping and analysis associated with time-motion studies and worker noise exposures, making it easier to identify and solve noise problems.
-
1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo help manage noise exposures, the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) developed the Determination of Sound Exposures (DOSES) software and implementation guide for use by mine management and safety personnel.
-
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.
-
3/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study, conducted as part of a project to evaluate a new type of noise exposure monitoring paradigm, showed that the effects of dosimeter microphone placement in a diffuse field were found to be minor for most of the test microphones/locations.
-
10/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper evaluates the duty cycle of a typical roof bolting machine operation at two coal mines. The results provide insight into which portion of the operators’ duty cycle is the most prominent contributor to noise exposure.
-
7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis research determined noise exposures of equipment operators while documenting worker task. The types of equipment studied included asphalt pavers, backhoes, bulldozers, compaction equipment, excavators, haul trucks, and wheeled loaders.
-
10/1/2005 - Conference papersThe focus of this research was to determine the noise exposures of heavy construction equipment operators while documenting the workers’ tasks, (i.e. hauling, moving, and/or pushing construction material).
