• Horizontal Stress and Longwall Headgate Ground Control
  1/1/1998 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Horizontal stresses are caused by global plate-tectonic forces. This paper presents six case histories of mines that encountered roof falls or difficult ground conditions at the headgate caused by horizontal-stress concentrations.
• Impact of Maintainability Design on Injury Rates and Maintenance Costs for Underground Mining Equipment
  1/1/1994 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  The design of underground mining equipment was analyzed with respect to ease of maintenance and maintainer safety. Recommendations are made for maintainability design, as well as engineering information for equipment designers and a buyers' guide.
• Mine Slope and Subsidence Monitoring Partnership
  4/11/2024
  A partnership between the NIOSH Mining Program and its stakeholders to investigate the use of existing stability/subsidence monitoring technologies.
• Inexperience as a Contributor to Workplace Injury
  1/9/2024 - Research projects
  A project to characterize the effect that inexperience has on risk of injury and to reduce related risks for miners new to the industry, to specific worksites, or to their jobs or tasks.
• Advanced Strategies for Controlling Exposures to Diesel Aerosols
  12/27/2023 - Research projects
  A project to develop and implement workplace solutions to reduce miners’ overexposure to hazardous airborne contaminants emitted from diesel-powered equipment.
• Using Exoskeletons to Reduce Overexertion Injuries
  11/28/2023 - Research projects
  A project to evaluate exoskeletons in real-life scenarios to determine their efficacy to reduce physical demands in the mining environment and their potential to reduce the risk of overexertion injuries.
• Safety Pays in Mining
  10/20/2023 - Web software
  Use Safety Pays to see how much injuries could cost your operation.
• Evaluating and Developing Emerging Technologies to Improve Conveyor System Safety
  7/11/2023 - Research projects
  A project to develop interventions to reduce traumatic injuries and fatalities that occur during operation and maintenance activities on conveyors.
• Mine Hearing and Communication Safety System
  6/13/2023 - Contracts and cooperative agreements
  Triton Systems proposes to develop a new product—“MineEar”—which would offer superior awareness, communication, and hearing protection through noise attenuation, occlusion effect reduction technology, and advanced noise reduction.
• Exploration of Limestone Pillar Stability in Multiple-level Mining Conditions Using Numerical Models
  5/17/2023 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  A study using FLAC3D models to investigate factors that control pillar stability in multiple-level conditions.
