Fortunately, advances made over the past three decades in mining technology, equipment, processes, procedures, and workforce education and training have significantly improved safety and health. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Mining Safety and Health Research Program (Mining Program) has played a large role in these improvements. An assessment of the relevance and impact of NIOSH Mining Program research by a National Research Council committee reveals that the program makes essential contributions to the enhancement of health and safety in the mining industry. To further increase its effectiveness, the Mining Program should proactively identify workplace hazards and establish more challenging and innovative goals toward hazard reduction. The ability of the program to successfully expand its activities, however, depends on available funding.Reviews of research programs of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and HealthMine safetyResearchEvaluationMineral industriesHealth aspectsMinersHealthMining(DNLM)D008906Accidents, Occupationalprevention & control(DNLM)D000062Q000517Occupational Diseasesprevention & control(DNLM)D009784Q000517Mine safetyResearchEvaluation.Mineral industriesHealth aspects.MinersHealth.Mining.Accidents, Occupationalprevention & control.Occupational Diseasesprevention & control.622MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974697303321Mining safety and health research at NIOSH4425886UNINA
