Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

Proposed Project
Low Back Exposure Assessment Tool
for Mining—NEW—National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Federal Mine Safety & Health Act
of 1977, Section 501, enables CDC/
NIOSH to carry out research relevant to
the health and safety of workers in the
mining industry. Mining has one of the
highest incidence rates for back pain of
any industry, and back injuries are
consistently the leading cause of lost
work days in the industry. The objective
of this project is to develop a selfadministered, paper and pencil risk
assessment tool for the development of
low back disorders specifically directed
towards use in the mining industry.
Many current methods of assessing the
risk of low back disorders do not
address stressors that are relatively
unique to the mining environment,
including the restricted vertical spaces
in many coal mines that require workers
to adopt stooping or kneeling postures
for extended periods of their workday.
The low back exposure assessment
tool for mining will assess various
occupational exposures associated with
development of back disorders in the
literature (postural demands, lifting,
whole body vibration exposure,
individual and psychosocial issues), as
well as specific mining stressors and
will develop a score that will be used
to assess the degree of risk for the job
and the individual. The tool will be
useful in both prioritizing jobs that need
interventions to reduce low back
disorder risk, and in evaluating the
effectiveness of interventions through
tool administration before and after the
implementation of an intervention.
There will be no cost to the respondents
other than their time.
