9/1/2010 - Conference papersThis study assessed the difference between free cadence walking versus stoopwalking (under a 1.2-m ceiling), four-point crawling (hands and knees), and two-point crawling (knees only), both with and without kneepads.
-
9/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the results of initial testing of the NIOSH Multifit4 system that was designed to be used as a tool by qualified researchers to evaluate hearing protector training and fit interventions at worksites.
-
8/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH investigated muscle activity, forces, stresses, and moments at the knee (with and without kneepads) while subjects assumed various postures, including kneeling in full flexion, kneeling at 90° of flexion, kneeling on one knee, and squatting.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH has developed several new hearing loss prevention tools and interventions that specifically target behavioral and attitudinal barriers that keep miners from effectively acting to prevent their own hearing loss.
-
8/1/2009 - Conference papersThe pressure applied to the patella and combined PT and TT was determined for postures associated with low-seam mining.
-
12/1/2008 - Technology NewsNational Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has been performing research to improve the level of hearing protection by providing workers with an inexpensive, easy-to-use device to check earplug fit.
-
10/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study investigated human response issues related to wearing a self-contained self-rescuer(SCSR). The goal was to develop training to educate miners on what they could expect from their units during an escape.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersIssues related to testing the performance of sound restoration hearing protectors are outlined within this paper, and possible solutions are discussed.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis study examines the use of a commercially-available lubricant for hearing aids to determine whether it would facilitate improved fit and attenuation for earplugs.
-
6/1/2008 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report is the last of 10 report phases begun in 1982 and presents findings regarding laboratory-tested SCSRs in the tenth phase of testing, from July 2004 to March 2006.
