	Underground Coal: Pre-Shift Inspection Don Conrad, Mining Consultant, begins the video by discussing a fatal mine accident that involved pre-shifting. Frank Kolarik, a foreman at an underground coal mine discusses the basic practices that are part of an underground foreman's pre-shift exam duties. Mike Brnich, NIOSH, discusses the importance of quality pre-shift exams. Frank also discusses the principles of mine gases, maintaining ventilation controls and rockdusting as well as making good roof checks and air flow measurements. Jim Pablic, Safety Manager at AMFIRE Mining Co., LLC concludes the video.

	Eight Million Pound Dragline Crosses New Mexico Peabody Energy's 8 million pound dragline completed a historic journey from the company's Lee Ranch Mine northwest of Grants, New Mexico, more than 20 miles to its new home at the El Segundo Mine. Transporting one of the world's most massive machines required precision and planning. The Bucyrus-Erie 1570-W dragline was carried across the high desert by a specialized 600-wheel vehicle. NASA uses a similar method to haul space shuttles, and the new approach abbreviated the move and eliminated the need for electric power.

	"We Are ... MSHA" Mining is an occupation where our miners face many dangerous working conditions. This is why the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) was formed. This video is an overview of our mission, which is to help improve workplace safety and health conditions in our Nation's mines through enforcement, education and training, and technical support.

	What Not to Do with Equipment The pictures speak for themselves.

	Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Mining History Part 1 of 3. A short documentary about Anthracite coal mining history in Northeast Pennsylvania. Filmed in a coal mine.

	Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Mining History Part 2 of 3. A short documentary about Anthracite coal mining history in Northeast Pennsylvania. Filmed in a coal mine.

	Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Mining History Part 3 of 3. Timbering is the most common roof support method used in underground anthracite mines. The system of timbering is governed by the character of the top and bottom, thickness of the coal vein, pitch of the coal vein, life of the entry, haulage system, and the operator's approved roof control plan. This video demonstrates the fundamentals and characteristics used in installing typical timber sets: single prop, post and bar (two-piece sets), and "double timber" (three-piece sets).

	30 Days in the Hole Photos of huge holes from around the world, mining machines and people set to the song 30 Days in the Hole by Humble Pie.

	Command for Dozing A remote control system, Command for dozing is available for Cat D10T and D11T Track-Type Tractors. A line-of-site operator console enables control of the machine from a safe distance away from the working area.

	Underground Coal: Pre-Shift Inspection Frank Kolarik, a foreman at an underground coal mine discusses the basic practices that are part of an underground foreman's pre-shift exam duties.

	Reflections Discusses the evolution of health and safety laws and the role of the supervisor. Great vintage and modern-day scenes throughout the video.

	Digital Mining Photograph Archive The MSHA Digital Library photograph collection includes over 1,000 historical mining photographs from the original Bureau of Mines collection. These photographs cover a wide range of topics connected to mining, including underground, community, mine rescue, and historical scenes. New images will be added to the collection on a regular basis.

	Arc Flash Awareness An arc flash is the sudden release of electrical energy through the air when a high-voltage gap exists and there is a breakdown between conductors. An arc flash gives off thermal radiation (heat) and bright, intense light that can cause burns. Temperatures have been recorded as high as 35,000 F. High-voltage arcs can also produce considerable pressure waves by rapidly heating the air and creating a blast. This pressure burst can hit a worker with great force and send molten metal droplets from melted copper and aluminum electrical components great distances at extremely high velocities.

	Hazards in Motion Hazards In Motion teaches mobile equipment safety for underground miners. The video follows the misadventures of Ben, a new miner with a short attention span and big ego. Through a series of bad choices, a couple near-death experiences, and some divine intervention, Ben learns the basics of working safely in a modern mechanized mine.

	Today's Technology Needs Tomorrow's Heroes Highly trained mine rescue teams have worked diligently in dangerous environments to rescue miners and to recover coal mines. These men and women have been aided by the newest technologies available to protect them and to respond rapidly to the dangers present in coal mines. As younger miners enter the workforce, mentors are encouraged to pass on the wisdom of their experiences. These young miners and mine companies are reminded that mine rescue teams benefit both the individual miner and the mining company.

	Scaling Scaling, the taking down of loose material from the roof, face and rib in hard rock mining. This videotape will remind you of some of the safety procedures and common sense practices to use during scaling.
