Given the inaccuracy of area sampling for measuring the exposure of mining machine operators in coal mines and consistent with other recommendations [U.S. Department of Labor 1996], a personal dust monitor (Thermo Fisher Scientific PDM Model 3600) was developed to provide an end-of-shift respirable dust exposure measurement …



The mine currently has two active sections, designated as 001 and 005. Coal is produced on the 001 section using continuous mining machines, shuttle cars, battery-powered scoops, and roof bolting machines. Two continuous mining machines, operated one at a time, are used on the 001 section to cut and load coal.



Dual systems (Color or B&W) are used to enhance machine operator vision when traveling in both directions of travel. The cameras' reduced light specifications provide the operator with enhanced vision even in the darkest areas of the mine. Most systems are installed on Scoops, Shuttle Cars, and Coal Haulers underground.

MSHA's final rule to lower miners' exposure to respirable coal mine dust is a historic step forward in the effort to end black lung disease. The rule reduces overall dust standards in coal mines, improves the dust sampling technology and methodology, and expands the medical surveillance program to improve early detection of the disease.
