Proposed Project
Enhancing Mine Workers’ Abilities to
Identify Hazards at Sand, Stone, and
Gravel Mines—New—National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
According to the Mine Safety and
Health Administration (MSHA), 37
mine workers were fatally injured in
accidents that occurred at metal and
nonmetal mine sites between October,
2013, and January, 2015 (MSHA, 2015).
By contrast, prior to October, 2013,
metal and nonmetal mining had
experienced several years of record lows
for number of fatalities (2012: 16 and
2011: 16). Yet, in 2014 alone, 29 mine
workers were fatally injured at a metal
or nonmetal mine site, and half of these
fatalities (52%) occurred at a surface
stone, sand, or gravel (SSG) mine.
It is critical that all miners be able to
both recognize worksite hazards and
accurately assess the risk associated
with these hazards, because their health
and safety depends on their deciding
whether and how to remove hazards
and mitigate risks.
In order to study how SSG mine
workers’ search for, find, and
understand the risk associated with
mine site hazards, a laboratory based
quasi-experimental research study will
be conducted. Over the two-year period
of the study, a total of 85 respondents
(45 mine workers, 20 safety
professionals, and 20 students) will
complete the pre-screening
questionnaire. Each participant will be
asked to complete each form one time.
The pre-screening questionnaire will be
used to determine which potential
participants qualify to take part in the
study. This questionnaire will be
completed prior to the laboratory task
and should take approximately 15
minutes for each respondent to
complete. It is anticipated that at least
72% of the participants who are
contacted will qualify and take part in
the study. Therefore, a total of 62
respondents will take part in the
study—30 mine workers, 16 safety
professionals, and 16 mining students.
We are interested in how experience
(e.g., work experience, hazard
recognition training experience, etc.)
affects hazard recognition abilities.
The laboratory study will be
completed first. Participants will be
shown panoramic images of typical
locations at a surface stone mine site.

There will be a number of hazards
included in each image. The participant
will be asked to search for and find the
hazards. During the study, all 62
participants will be asked to search
pictures. The participants will wear a
light weight eye-tracking system so that
eye-movements can be collected and
search patterns can be mapped during
respondent to complete. All 62
respondents will then complete the Risk
Assessment Measure (time to complete,
20 minutes), the Risk Propensity Scale
(time to complete, 6 minutes), the Mine
Specific Risk Tolerance Measure (time
to complete, 6 minutes), and the Openended Questions (time to complete, 30
minutes).
analysis to determine differences based
on level of experience. Identification
accuracy will also be collected to
determine whether level of experience
affects the number of hazards identified.
After the laboratory study is complete,
all 62 respondents will complete the
demographic questionnaire. This should
take approximately six minutes for each

measures, and (2) to properly abide by
ANA’s congressionally-mandated
statute (42 United States Code 2991 et
seq.) found within the Native American
Programs Act of 1974, as amended,
which states that ANA will evaluate
projects assisted through ANA grant
dollars ‘‘including evaluations that
describe and measure the impact of
such projects, their effectiveness in
achieving stated goals, their impact on
related programs, and their structure
and mechanisms for delivery of
services.’’ The information collected
with this survey will fulfill ANA’s
statutory requirement and will also
serve as an important planning and
performance tool for ANA.
