NIOSH Mining Program

"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 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; and improving the likelihood of rescue and miner survivability if disaster strikes." - NIOSHTIC-2NIOSHTIC no. 20057257Suggested citation: NIOSH [2019].
