• Description:
  An assessment of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Mining Safety and Health Research Program (Mining Program) reveals that it 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. [Description provided by NIOSH]
