Injury data show a dramatic reduction in roof skin injuries when screening is used. Five case studies in which roof screen was used are presented along with the costs of materials, impact on bolting advance rates, and potential ergonomic risks.
-
This paper presents an overview of the most significant ground control hazards facing today's mineworkers, as well as best practices to reduce these risks.
-
This handbook was developed to identify available engineering controls that can assist underground and surface metal/nonmetal mining operations in reducing worker exposure to respirable silica dust.
