- Notices and Events
- NIOSH Workshops and Videos
- Many of our recent NIOSH Workshops are now available online, including slides and videos of NIOSH presentations.
- Noteworthy Publications and Products
- Best Practices for Dust Control in Coal Mining is a handbook developed to identify available engineering controls that can help the industry reduce worker exposure to respirable coal and silica dust.
- Diesel Aerosols and Gases in Underground Mines: Guide to Exposure Assessment and Control provides a comprehensive guide to establish a program to curtail diesel particulate matter emissions, control pollutants after release in an underground mine environment and reduce exposures using administrative controls.
- Find all NIOSH Refuge Chamber Training Products and Guidance on one page along with tips for scheduling and use. These training modules better prepare miners to make educated decisions during an emergency. Topics include decision making, expectations and operations. New publications just added!
- S-Pillar Analysis Software - Software to aid engineers in designing stable pillars for room-and-pillar workings in underground stone mines. The design methods used in S-Pillar are grounded in observations of actual pillar performance in 34 different underground U.S. operations.
- Evaluation of Face Dust Concentrations at Mines Using Deep-Cutting Practices - Details dust surveys which were conducted at six underground mines to determine if deep-cut mining practices expose face workers to higher levels of respirable dust by comparing levels during the first 20 ft of advance (regular-cut depth) during the deep cut to levels during the final 10 to 20 ft of advance (deep-cut depth).
