The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and its predecessor, the US Bureau of Mines, have significantly contributed to enhancing the safety of miners and to applying new technologies to the mining industry.
This paper looks in detail at the technical advances of new digital confined-spaces monitoring technology and how the technology maximizes worker safety and efficiency.
