Emergency Self Escape for Coal
Miners—New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 238 / Thursday, December 11, 2014 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s (CDC) mission is to
promote health and quality of life by
preventing and controlling disease,
injury, and disability. The National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) provides national and
world leadership to prevent workrelated illness, injury, disability, and
death by gathering information,
conducting scientific research, and
translating knowledge gained into
products and services. NIOSH’s mission
is critical to the health and safety of
every American worker. The Office of
Mine Safety and Health Research
(OMSHR), one of the preeminent mining
research laboratories in the world, is
focused on occupational health and
safety research for mine workers.
Recent research by the National
Academy of Sciences (NAS) has called
for a detailed, formal task analysis of
mine self-escape (National Research
Council, 2013). Such an analysis should
identify the knowledge, skills, abilities,
and other attributes (KSAOs) needed by
mine personnel in the event of a mine
disaster to successfully complete an
emergency self-escape. This analysis
will identify gaps between worker
demands and capabilities, and propose
recommendations to either minimize
those gaps or enhance existing systems
(e.g., communications, training,
technology).
The purpose of the project is to
enhance the ability of miners to escape
from underground coal mines in the
event of a fire, explosion, collapse of the
mine structure, or flooding of the area
by toxic gas or water. To escape, miners
need to perform a set of tasks that apply
specific knowledge and skills in moving
through the mine, avoiding dangers, and
using protective equipment. The project
system of collecting information is
‘‘active’’ in that participants are
presented stimuli (e.g., disaster
scenarios, worker roles) and asked
directly to provide their perceptions
(e.g., of tasks or cognitive requirements
needed to accomplish self-escape in that
disaster). Observation checklists have
been developed to capture relevant
information during the unobtrusive
naturalistic observations of self-escape
drills. These data are then organized,
collated, and re-presented to
participants for confirmation of
accuracy. Recommendations are
generated based on study findings,
related research and practices, and
logical inference.
Participants will be mining personnel
drawn from two operating coal mines,
one large and one smaller mine, to
represent the variety within the
industry. The data collection schedule
(e.g., timing and duration of interviews
and focus groups) will be modified as
needed to minimize disruption to mine
operations. No more than 30 miner
volunteers will participate in the study
over three years. Minimal time (< 5
minutes each) will be spent in
recruitment and obtaining informed
consent. Semi-structured interviews
with mine personnel will require 1.5–2
hours of their time depending on the
interview. Focus group sessions will
require approximately 12 hours of their
time total but will be executed in
smaller blocks of time. Observation of
drills will occur as part of normal mine
operations and will not result in any
additional burden on the respondents.
All participants will be between the
ages of 18 and 75, currently employed,
and living in the United States.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
will identify the tasks, knowledge and
skills, procedures, equipment,
communications, and physical
requirements of self-escape. The results
are expected to lead to
recommendations for improvements to
task requirements and procedures,
equipment, training and communication
processes.
NIOSH proposes this three-year study
to better understand the requirements of
emergency self-escape and to answer the
following questions:
• What tasks (and critical tasks) do
miners perform during self-escape?
• What knowledge beyond that
needed to perform normal, routine
mining tasks do miners require to
facilitate successful self-escape?
• What are the cognitive requirements
(such as reasoning, or weighing and
deciding among alternatives,
recognizing when a course of action is
not producing the intended results)
beyond that needed to perform normal,
routine mining tasks?
• What other cognitive abilities or
other cognitive competencies are
needed?
• What gaps exist between what
miners are required to do for self-escape
and their capabilities?
• How can self-escape be improved
by redesigning, eliminating, or
modifying tasks or training, or by
altering or introducing specific
technologies/tools?
To answer these questions, we will
use a task analysis study design that
utilizes a multiple-method approach, to
include (a) review of available research,
(b) interviews and focus group meetings
with participants, and (c) unobtrusive
observation (e.g., of drills). During
interviews and focus groups, targeted
questions are asked to elicit the level
and type of desired information. This

Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention is funding three 5-year
projects collectively entitled ‘‘Improving
the Impact of Laboratory Practice
Guidelines: A New Paradigm for
Metrics’’. An ‘‘LPG’’ is defined as
written recommendations for voluntary,
standardized approaches for medical
laboratory testing that takes into account
processes for test selection, sample
procurement and processing, analytical
methods, and results reporting for
effective diagnosis and management of
disease and health conditions. LPGs
may be disseminated to, and used by,
laboratorians and clinicians to assist
with test selection and test result
interpretation. The overall purpose of
these cooperative agreements is to
increase the effectiveness of LPGs by
defining measures and collecting
information to inform better LPG
creation, revision, dissemination,
promotion, uptake, and impact on
clinical testing and public health. The
project will explore how these processes
and their impediments and facilitators
differ among various intended users of
LPGs. Through this demonstration
project, CDC seeks to understand how to
customize LPG creation and promotion
to better serve these intended users of
LPGs. An important goal is to help
organizations that sponsor the
development of LPGs create a
sustainable approach for continuous
quality improvement to evaluate and
improve an LPG’s impact through better
collection of information.
The CDC selected three organizations
that currently create and disseminate
LPGs to support activities under a
cooperative agreement funding
mechanism to improve the impact of
their LPGs. The American Society for
Microbiology, the Clinical and
Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI),

and the College of American
Pathologists, will each use their LPGs as
models to better understand how to
improve uptake and impact of these and
future LPGs. Only the CLSI submission
will be described in this notice.
Specifically, the CLSI project will
address two LPGs that are important to
clinical testing and have a high public
health impact: POCT12, Point-of-Care
Blood Glucose Testing in Acute and
Chronic Care Facilities and POCT13,
Glucose Monitoring in Settings without
Laboratory Support. These LPGs
provide guidance and recommendations
for personnel monitoring patient
glucose levels at sites that have access
to a hospital laboratory as well as
locations, such as physician offices or
nursing homes that do not have an onsite moderate or high complexity
laboratory. It is expected that as a result
of sustained improvements in the
process of creating and updating these
clinical LPGs, public health, which
depends upon accurate and appropriate
laboratory testing guided by the use of
LPGs, will also generally benefit. The
intended users of the CLSI’s POCT12
and POCT13 LPGs will include point-ofcare coordinators, clinical laboratory
directors, medical technologists, nurses,
and medical doctors.
The CLSI plans to collect information
using the same survey instrument,
‘‘Fingerstick Glucose Survey’’ (FGS), on
three separate occasions. During the first
information collection (FGS1), all
targeted respondents will be asked to
complete the survey. Respondents who
indicate that they are not familiar with
either POCT12 or POCT13 will be asked
to provide an email address and offered
a free copy of the applicable LPG. This
subset of respondents will be asked to
complete the same survey (FGS2) 4–6
months after receiving the free LPG.
After analysis of the information
collected during the first two surveys,
CLSI will make improvements to
POCT12 and POCT13, such as provision
of educational materials or helpful
products such as quality control logs,
and may also alter their marketing
campaigns to address issues related to
awareness and use of CLSI documents.
The third survey (FGS3) will then be
sent to all targeted respondents
approximately 2.5 years after the first
survey to obtain information that can be
used to evaluate the impact of these
improvements. Respondents that
received a free copy of POCT12 or
POCT13 following the first survey will
also be contacted by email and asked to
take the third survey.
A link to the survey will be
distributed to all targeted respondents
either by email or postcard. The CLSI
