Mining Feature: NIOSH at SME 2023
Monday, February 13, 2023
NIOSH will showcase a number of its latest products in mine safety and health research at MINEXCHANGE, the 2023 Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME) Annual Conference and Expo Feb. 26-March 1 in Denver.
Find us at Booth #2011 to learn about our software, technology, and guidelines, including:
Using the newest iteration of the NIOSH Hearing Loss Simulator, now offered as a progressive web application
Learning how electromagnetic interference may be affecting the performance of proximity detection systems
Seeing how you can use LiDAR at your operation to add to your ground control data
Exploring the many ways to prevent slips, trips, and falls at your operation with best practices, controls, and behavior choices
Engaging with us in research as we collect data from active mining operationsPlus, pick up copies of many of our products in both English and Spanish to serve your operation's needs.
Don’t miss our researchers and scientists as they present their findings on a range of safety and health topics.
