laboratory studies on mining injuries
and the means for their prevention; (6)
conducts laboratory and field
investigations to better understand the
causes of catastrophic events that may
lead to fatalities, such as fires,
explosions, and structural or ground
failures; (7) develops sensors, predictive
models, engineering controls, and
improved practices to reduce miners’
risk for injury or death; (8) conducts
laboratory and field research to develop
interventions and methods to reduce
repetitive/cumulative musculoskeletal
injuries; (9) translates research findings,
new control technology concepts, and
newly identified approaches to health
and safety problems affecting miners
into usable effective interventions; (10)
assesses the effectiveness of
interventions to prevent occupational
injuries and illnesses; and (11) utilizes
the unique facilities and resources of the
laboratory, including its three mines:
the experimental coal mine, the safety
research coal mine, and the Lake Lynn
experimental hard rock mine, as a
national resource in collaboration with
other NIOSH units as well as other
departments and agencies of the
government to address problems in
heavy construction and other areas with
common links to mining problems.
Mining Respiratory Hazards Control
Branch (CCBC). (1) Develops, plans, and

dust, silica, and diesel particulate; (2)
conducts field tests, experiments and
demonstrations of new technology for
monitoring and assessing mine air
quality; (3) designs, plans, and
implements laboratory and field
research to develop airborne hazard
reduction control technologies; (4)
carries out field surveys in mines to
identify work organization strategies
that could result in reduced dust and
diesel particulate exposure; (5)
evaluates the performance, economics,
and technical feasibility of engineering
control strategies, novel approaches,
and the application of new or emerging
technologies for underground and
surface mine dust and respiratory
hazard control systems; and (6)
develops and evaluates implementation
strategies for using newly developed
monitors and control technology for
exposure reduction or prevention.
