The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Mining Program works with partners in industry, labor, trade associations, professional organizations, and academia. The program focuses on these areas:

  • Reducing exposures to harmful mine dusts, airborne pollutants, heat, noise, and repetitive motion.
  • Preventing injuries and fatalities from machinery, rock falls, materials handling, slips and falls, and other mining workplace hazards.
  • Improving the likelihood of rescue and miner survivability if disaster strikes.
