8/15/2012 - Information CircularsThis IC details a NIOSH investigation on the CDEM’s ability to accurately predict the explosibility of coal and rock dust mixtures. The conclusions support the field use of the CDEM to measure the explosibility of coal and rock dust mixtures.
-
12/1/2009 - Information CircularsThis document describes principles of noise control to operators, safety personnel, and mechanics in the mining industry so that they can evaluate the extent of a noise problem, determine the best approach, and apply the most appropriate solution.
-
7/1/2007 - Guides and manuals, Information CircularsThis report provides a sound scientific and engineering justification to recommend a three-tiered explosion pressure design criterion for new seals. The recommendations contained herein apply to new seal design and construction in U.S. coal mines.
-
11/1/2004 - Information CircularsThis report analyzes mine fires for all U.S. underground and surface metal/nonmetal mining categories during 1990-2001 by state and six successive 2-year time periods.
-
10/1/2003 - Information CircularsThis report describes the geologic origin, association, and potential danger from the most common hazards. Discussions of weak rock include drawrock, rider coals, head coal, stackrock, and stream valley effects.
-
1/1/2022 - Information CircularsThis report details how to implement field-based monitoring for respirable crystalline silica using portable Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
-
8/16/2021 - Information CircularsRead about the latest best practices for dust control in coal mining.
-
5/1/2007 - Information CircularsThe goal of this study is to help identify the location and likely severity of multiple-seam interactions. Mine planners can use this information to adjust the ground support, pillar design, or mine layout to minimize the hazard.
-
5/1/2007 - Information CircularsFor the past several years, NIOSH has been conducting research to develop better techniques for predicting the location and severity of multiple-seam interactions. This paper presents the background to that study.
-
9/1/2005 - Information CircularsWater well drillers are exposed to high levels of noise while working. Drillers and owners can work together to prevent noise-induced hearing loss, and measures can be taken to reduce exposure to hazardous noise.
