Friday, November 9, 2012. A pair of new handbooks from NIOSH, appropriately titled Best Practices for Dust Control in Coal Mining and Best Practices for Dust Control in Metal/Nonmetal Mining, were developed to identify and promote engineering controls to protect mine workers from overexposures to dust.The term "best practices" refers to methods that have consistently shown …
اقرأ أكثرIn metal, nonmetal, stone, sand, and gravel mining operations, and for select occupations in coal mines, the generation of respirable silica dust during mining is the primary concern. Inhalation of excessive levels of silica dust can lead to silicosis, another disabling and potentially fatal lung disease.
اقرأ أكثرThe collection of dust samples in mines is a multifaceted problem. Initially, one must define the situation being sampled and the purpose of the sampling in order to establish an appropriate sampling plan, including specification of the type of mining process (surface vs. underground, metal vs. nonmetal vs. coal) as well as the mining system employed (equipment).
