PROJECT ABSTRACT Objective: To improve mining safety and health training in the western United States in order to reduce mining injuries, illnesses and fatalities. Background: Despite continued improvements over time, mining injuries and fatalities continue to occur in the mining industry, and reducing occupational illnesses remains challenging. Building on our past NIOSH miner training (U60) grants, we will expand our collaborative training programs with industry partners to offer competency-based health and safety training for miners, trainers, supervisors and health and safety personnel. Specific Aims: 1) Establish collaborative, evidence-based learning laboratories; 2) Improve health training; and 3) Develop new technologically driven training products. Study Design: We will expand our collaborative efforts with training consultants and company and labor-based training programs to develop learning laboratories incorporating our existing training resources and additional training products from NIOSH, other academic programs, and industry. We will also introduce and evaluate a promising new industrial athlete warm-up program shared by one of our industry partners which in an initial pilot study has greatly reduced workplace injuries. A mentorship program will be provided for learning laboratory leaders, along with a new evaluation infrastructure which includes a heterogeneous database capable of aggregating and analyzing data from a variety of sources and formats (including quantitative, qualitative, and multi-modal). Traumatic injury prevention will continue to be a part of all levels of training (miner, trainer, supervisors and health and safety personnel) and other NIOSH NORA cross-sector topics including musculoskeletal health, hearing loss prevention, respiratory health, heat-related illnesses and fatigue will be addressed through addition of health modules in existing and new training products. Building upon our past successes with experiential learning and highly engaging serious games, we will extend our suite of existing training products with new content focusing on NORA cross-sector topics and hazard mitigation. New modules will be developed that include an expansion pack for our Very Good Day hazard recognition card game and a new story-based scenario for the synthetic learning environment (SLE) Harry's Hazardous Day. Furthermore, we will create ‘hybrid’ games that serve as a bridge between traditional tabletop activities and full-scale SLEs using readily available mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets augmented by personalized digital content. Digital content will feature challenges, rewards, and scaffolding specific to each learner. Relevance to public health: The proposed program will serve to directly promote Research to Practice (r2p) with our industry partners. Intermediate outcomes will include: 1) improved safety and health practices; 2) workers empowered through active learning to be active participants in improving workplace safety and health; and 3) increased sharing of effective training programs. The end outcomes of the program will include a culture shift empowered by leadership and cohesive learning laboratory teams to reduce mining injuries, illnesses and fatalities.

项目摘要 目的：改善美国西部的采矿安全和健康培训以减少采矿 伤害，疾病和死亡。背景：尽管随着时间的流逝，开采伤害和 矿业行业继续发生死亡，减少职业疾病仍然受到挑战。 在过去的NIOSH矿工培训（U60）的基础上，我们将与 行业合作伙伴为矿工，培训师，主管和 健康与安全人员。具体目的：1）建立协作，基于证据的学习实验室； 2） 改善健康培训； 3）开发新的技术驱动培训产品。研究设计：我们将 扩大我们与培训顾问以及公司和劳动力培训计划的合作努力 开发学习实验室，结合了我们现有的培训资源和其他培训产品 NIOSH，其他学术课程和行业。我们还将介绍并评估一个有希望的新工业 我们的一个行业合作伙伴共享的运动员热身计划在最初的试点研究中大大减少了 工作场所受伤。将为学习实验室领导者提供一项指导计划，以及一个新的 评估基础架构，其中包括能够汇总和分析数据的异质数据库 来自多种来源和格式（包括定量，定性和多模式）。创伤性伤害 预防将继续成为所有级别培训的一部分（矿工，培训师，主管以及健康与安全 人员）和其他Niosh Nora跨部门主题，包括肌肉骨骼健康，听力损失 预防，呼吸健康，与热有关的疾病和疲劳将通过增加健康来解决 现有和新培训产品中的模块。在我们过去的成功基础上，通过专家学习和 高度吸引人的严肃游戏，我们将扩展现有培训产品的套件，并以新的内容聚焦 关于NORA跨部门主题和缓解危害。将开发包括扩展的新模块 为我们非常美好的一天危害识别卡游戏和合成的新场景打包 学习环境（SLE）哈利的危险一天。此外，我们将创建“混合”游戏 传统桌面活动与全尺寸SLE之间的桥梁，使用随时可用的移动设备（例如 通过个性化数字内容增强智能手机和平板电脑。数字内容将带来挑战， 奖励，并针对每个学习者进行脚手架。与公共卫生有关：拟议的计划将服务 直接与我们的行业合作伙伴一起促进研究（R2P）。中级结果将包括：1） 改善安全和健康惯例； 2）通过积极学习成为积极参与者而获得的工人 改善工作场所的安全和健康； 3）增加有效培训计划的共享。结尾 该计划的成果将包括由领导力和凝聚力学习实验室赋予的文化转变 减少采矿受伤，疾病和死亡的团队。
