Hazard Recognition Training Program for Underground Limestone. Instructor's Guide
From 1985 through 1994, 78 fatalities occurred in the stone mining industry, sixty at surface operations and eighteen at underground mines. Relative to the quantity of stone produced, the number of fatalities that occurred underground (23%) was disproportionate to the number that occurred on the surface. Five percent of stone production came from underground mines, 95% from surface mines. A review of the injury data during this period for underground limestone mines indicated a high concentration in one area - ground failures. Approximately 68% of the accidents involved roof rock, 20% highwalls, 8% ribs and 4% faces (MSHA Database). It is hypothesized that the number of injuries to underground limestone miners may be reduced through improved training that focuses on better recognition of the numerous visual cues that are available for evaluating roof and rib conditions. To this end, researchers at NIOSHs Pittsburgh Research Laboratory have merged two proven methods of training miners to recognize hazards, stereoscopic (3-D) slides and the concept of degraded images, into this training program for underground limestone.
