Proposed Project
Pre-shift Lighting Interventions to
Improve Miner Safety and Well-being—
New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description
The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health seeks a
two-year approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
collect information needed to develop
strategies and guidance to improve the
safety, health, and well-being of
underground coal and metal
shiftworkers in the U.S. mining
industry. Light has both visual and nonvisual impacts on the human body,
enabling us to visually perceive the
world, and non-visually experience
circadian entrainment and acute effects
that include alertness, concentration,
and performance on cognitive tasks.
Hence, light drives our fundamental
physiological functioning.
It is not surprising that underground
miners have significant reductions in
exposure to daylight—especially those
miners working shifts. This lacking
exposure can lead to fatigue and
circadian disruption (CD) that can result
in sleep loss and reduced alertness. This
increases the risk of accidents, and can
lead to health problems that include
obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
This study will evaluate the impacts
of blue and red-light treatment at the
beginning of the work shift on task
performance, sleepiness and alertness,
subjective well-being, sleep efficiency
and circadian rhythms in underground
mine workers. A 2x2 randomized
crossover, mixed design will be used to
test the efficacy and acceptability an
HCL intervention using light-emitting
eyewear delivered to shift workers over
a two-year study period. A cross-over
design has a significant advantage
because the subjects serve as their own
control, which serves to minimize
variations caused by circadian phase
differences and sleep patterns of the
individual participants. The other
advantages include greater sample size
efficiency with randomization of
treatment order, and all subjects will
receive all the treatments. Participants
will be divided between coal and metal
miners, and will be those who regularly
work the 1st, 2nd and 3rd shifts at one
underground coal and one underground
metal mine.
NIOSH researchers will visit one
underground coal mine and one
underground metal mine to obtain
informed consent from volunteer
mineworkers to conduct an intervention
study and administer both electronic
and paper and pencil surveys. Before
beginning the study, the respondents
will provide their informed consent to
participate, be given an overview of the
demographic information that will be
collected and will be instructed how to
E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM
19MRN1
14925
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 52 / Friday, March 19, 2021 / Notices
properly wear the lighted eyewear and
how to use the actigraphy device. Next,
participants will be asked to complete
six short surveys: (1) Demographic
information; (2) the Checklist of
Individual Strengths; (3) the Karolinska
Sleepiness Scale (KSS); (4) the Munich
Chronotype Questionnaire; (5) the
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI);
(6) a shiftwork disorder screening; (7)
the Lighted Eyeglasses Intervention
Acceptability Survey, and (8) the NASA
Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT). They
will also be asked to log caffeine intake
and sleep.
Intervention lighting doses will be
administered via commercially available
lightweight, light-emitting glasses
during the nonworking periods of preshift. Each participant will experience
two lighting interventions: Treatment A
is dim red light (10 lx, 3000 K, the
placebo control), and treatment B is
blue-enriched, polychromatic lighting,
the treatment intervention. For each
study group, half of the subjects will
first experience the blue, and half will
first experience the red-light exposure
during a three-week experimental
phase. After a two-week washout period
occasions, participants will swallow a
remote temperature monitoring pill to
assess circadian rhythms in core body
temperature. It is estimated that at-home
data collection time will be no more
than five minutes per participant.
This data collection will occur within
a two-year period beginning after OMB
approval and is designed to gather
information not previously available.
This lighting intervention with these
data collection instruments is not being
used in any other research in the mining
industry. Potential impacts of this
project include improvement of the
health, safety, and well-being of
underground mineworkers by reducing
fatigue and CD through new
recommendations and HCLinterventions. This project will also
answer several research questions that
will help establish the efficacy of the
new HCL interventions so that they
could be commercialized by mine
lighting companies and used by
underground coal and metal mining
companies. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 910. There
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.
designed to minimize carryover or
residual learning effects from the prior
treatments, subjects will experience the
lighting treatment condition they did
not yet experience for another threeweek period. While wearing lighted
eyewear the participants will evaluate
comfort, glare and acceptability of the
eyewear, while the KSS, the PSQI, and
the NASA PVT will be re-administered
at various intervals throughout the
course of the study.
The total number of responses for
each data collection instrument are
indicated in the estimated annualized
burden hours table below. Survey data
will be collected during pre-shift
periods and at home on working days
and at home on non-working days. Time
for data collection at the beginning of
the shift will be no more than 25
minutes. NIOSH researchers will collect
data at participating sites in above
ground facilities on working days.
Participants will also complete brief
caffeine and sleep logs and wear an
actigraphy wristband that records
activity and sleep patterns, and light/
dark exposure while at home. At various
intervals of the study for a total of 12

Proposed Project
Pre-shift Lighting Interventions to Improve Miner Safety and Well-
being--New--National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health seeks a
two-year approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to
collect information needed to develop strategies and guidance to
improve the safety, health, and well-being of underground coal and
metal shiftworkers in the U.S. mining industry. Light has both visual
and non-visual impacts on the human body, enabling us to visually
perceive the world, and non-visually experience circadian entrainment
and acute effects that include alertness, concentration, and
performance on cognitive tasks. Hence, light drives our fundamental
physiological functioning.
It is not surprising that underground miners have significant
reductions in exposure to daylight--especially those miners working
shifts. This lacking exposure can lead to fatigue and circadian
disruption (CD) that can result in sleep loss and reduced alertness.
This increases the risk of accidents, and can lead to health problems
that include obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
This study will evaluate the impacts of blue and red-light
treatment at the beginning of the work shift on task performance,
sleepiness and alertness, subjective well-being, sleep efficiency and
circadian rhythms in underground mine workers. A 2x2 randomized
crossover, mixed design will be used to test the efficacy and
acceptability an HCL intervention using light-emitting eyewear
delivered to shift workers over a two-year study period. A cross-over
design has a significant advantage because the subjects serve as their
own control, which serves to minimize variations caused by circadian
phase differences and sleep patterns of the individual participants.
The other advantages include greater sample size efficiency with
randomization of treatment order, and all subjects will receive all the
treatments. Participants will be divided between coal and metal miners,
and will be those who regularly work the 1st, 2nd and 3rd shifts at one
underground coal and one underground metal mine.
NIOSH researchers will visit one underground coal mine and one
underground metal mine to obtain informed consent from volunteer
mineworkers to conduct an intervention study and administer both
electronic and paper and pencil surveys. Before beginning the study,
the respondents will provide their informed consent to participate, be
given an overview of the demographic information that will be collected
and will be instructed how to
[[Page 14925]]
properly wear the lighted eyewear and how to use the actigraphy device.
Next, participants will be asked to complete six short surveys: (1)
Demographic information; (2) the Checklist of Individual Strengths; (3)
the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS); (4) the Munich Chronotype
Questionnaire; (5) the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); (6) a
shiftwork disorder screening; (7) the Lighted Eyeglasses Intervention
Acceptability Survey, and (8) the NASA Psychomotor Vigilance Test
(PVT). They will also be asked to log caffeine intake and sleep.
Intervention lighting doses will be administered via commercially
available lightweight, light-emitting glasses during the nonworking
periods of pre-shift. Each participant will experience two lighting
interventions: Treatment A is dim red light (10 lx, 3000 K, the placebo
control), and treatment B is blue-enriched, polychromatic lighting, the
treatment intervention. For each study group, half of the subjects will
first experience the blue, and half will first experience the red-light
exposure during a three-week experimental phase. After a two-week
washout period designed to minimize carryover or residual learning
effects from the prior treatments, subjects will experience the
lighting treatment condition they did not yet experience for another
three-week period. While wearing lighted eyewear the participants will
evaluate comfort, glare and acceptability of the eyewear, while the
KSS, the PSQI, and the NASA PVT will be re-administered at various
intervals throughout the course of the study.
The total number of responses for each data collection instrument
are indicated in the estimated annualized burden hours table below.
Survey data will be collected during pre-shift periods and at home on
working days and at home on non-working days. Time for data collection
at the beginning of the shift will be no more than 25 minutes. NIOSH
researchers will collect data at participating sites in above ground
facilities on working days. Participants will also complete brief
caffeine and sleep logs and wear an actigraphy wristband that records
activity and sleep patterns, and light/dark exposure while at home. At
various intervals of the study for a total of 12 occasions,
participants will swallow a remote temperature monitoring pill to
assess circadian rhythms in core body temperature. It is estimated that
at-home data collection time will be no more than five minutes per
participant.
This data collection will occur within a two-year period beginning
after OMB approval and is designed to gather information not previously
available. This lighting intervention with these data collection
instruments is not being used in any other research in the mining
industry. Potential impacts of this project include improvement of the
health, safety, and well-being of underground mineworkers by reducing
fatigue and CD through new recommendations and HCL-interventions. This
project will also answer several research questions that will help
establish the efficacy of the new HCL interventions so that they could
be commercialized by mine lighting companies and used by underground
coal and metal mining companies. The total estimated annualized burden
hours are 910. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
