MINE SAFETY AND HEALTH

Reports of Investigations (RIs) present the results of original mining health and safety research. They describe individual,

short-term studies and include the objective of the research, the materials and techniques used, and the results of tests or

experiments.

Information Circulars (ICs) present information compiled and analyzed by mining health and safety researchers. They

include historical and statistical data, surveys of mining and operating activities, computer program descriptions and user

guides, and annotated bibliographies.

Technology News is a one-page flyer used to announce a milestone in mining health and safety research, technology ready

for transfer to industry, or an opportunity for cooperative research and development.

Mining Health and Safety Focus is a newsletter issued periodically on different topics to apprise readers of tangible research

results and to expedite the transfer of new technologies to customers. Each section describes what is new or changed in relation

to current practices or technologies in mines today.

NIOSH Numbered Publications are generated internally, by contract, or by an interagency agreement. Publications in this

category include Criteria Documents (CD), alerts, Current Intelligence Bulletins (CIB), Health and Safety Guides (HSG),

symposium or conference proceedings, NIOSH administrative and management reports, scientific investigations, data

compilations, and worker-related booklets.
