This report is part of a series issued by the National Research
Council and the Institute of Medicine that assesses the impact and
relevance of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) research programs in improving safety and health in the mining
workplace. The research activities of the NIOSH Mining Program are
evaluated in terms of relevance, impact on the health and safety of
workers, and significance to emerging issues in mining. Members of a
committee, made up of individuals from universities, labor
organizations, and industry in the US, review research and make
recommendations for respiratory disease, noise-induced hearing loss,
ground failure, and disaster prevention; the reduction of
musculoskeletal and traumatic injuries; and surveillance, training, and
intervention effectiveness. There is no index.
