3/27/2014 - Reports of InvestigationsThis Report of Investigations details the results of a NIOSH investigation of temperature rise in mobile refuge alternatives.
-
1/1/2011 - Reports of InvestigationsDust surveys determined if deep-cut mining expose face workers to higher levels of respirable dust. Study findings indicate that levels on bolting faces did not appear to be affected by longer cycles associated with deep-cut mining practices.
-
7/1/2000 - Reports of InvestigationsShort-dumping rather than edge-dumping might reduce dumping-related accidents, but many operators believe it is less cost effective. To evaluate this perception, NIOSH reviewed the costs of various dumping methods at waste and spoil piles.
-
1/1/2020 - Reports of InvestigationsThis part 2 of a two-part series describes ground stress in mining by calibrating and verifying longwall stress models.
-
1/1/2020 - Reports of InvestigationsThis part 1 of a two-part series describes ground stress in mining based on measurements and observations at two western mines.
-
4/1/2015 - Reports of InvestigationsA report on a research study to document and develop safe practices for the use of shotcrete as ground support in underground mines, particularly in underground metal mines operating in weak host rock.
-
4/1/2006 - Reports of InvestigationsThis paper summarizes developments in the application of ground-based radar to slope stability monitoring and presents information on NIOSH-sponsored experiments recently completed.
-
4/1/2006 - Reports of InvestigationsDetermining backfill stress is an important part of evaluating mine safety, whether personnel are working in proximity to backfill or in other areas of the mine where backfill is an integral part of regional support.
-
12/1/2002 - Reports of InvestigationsEvaluation of the strength characteristics and air leakage resistance of numerous innovative seal designs and ventilation control structures for use in underground coal mines.
-
7/1/2002 - Reports of InvestigationsThe process of drilling and bolting the roof is currently one of the most dangerous jobs in underground mining, resulting in about 1,000 accidents with injuries each year in the United States. Researchers from the Spokane Research Laboratory of the Nat...
