Learning From the Upper Big Branch Tragedy
March 27, 2012
“The reduction of respirable dust in the production environment is as important as ever, and NIOSH has developed a best practices handbook and conducted several “train-the-trainer” workshops to disseminate these practices throughout the industry. At the same time, our scientists and engineers are studying new and potentially more effective technologies for further reducing respirable dust levels. The “canopy air curtain” for use on roof bolters, for example, envelops the operator inside a “canopy” of filtered air. If the in-mine trials are as successful as those in the laboratory, it will eliminate one of the highest respirable dust exposures.”
(Statement of Jeffery Kohler, Associate Director for Mining and the Director of the Office of Mine Safety and Health Research, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
