1/1/1998 - Peer reviewed journal articlesHorizontal 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.
-
1/1/1994 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsThe 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.
-
4/11/2024A partnership between the NIOSH Mining Program and its stakeholders to investigate the use of existing stability/subsidence monitoring technologies.
-
1/9/2024 - Research projectsA 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.
-
12/27/2023 - Research projectsA project to develop and implement workplace solutions to reduce miners’ overexposure to hazardous airborne contaminants emitted from diesel-powered equipment.
-
11/28/2023 - Research projectsA 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.
-
10/20/2023 - Web softwareUse Safety Pays to see how much injuries could cost your operation.
-
7/11/2023 - Research projectsA project to develop interventions to reduce traumatic injuries and fatalities that occur during operation and maintenance activities on conveyors.
-
6/13/2023 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsTriton 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 Models5/17/2023 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study using FLAC3D models to investigate factors that control pillar stability in multiple-level conditions.
