DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The long-term objective of the proposed research is to better prepare emergency personnel to more safely and effectively respond to rail accidents involving hazardous materials. Approximately 800,000 shipments of hazardous substances travel daily throughout the United States, frequently through densely populated areas where the consequences of an acute release could result in environmental damage, severe injury, or death. MetaMedia Training has teamed with the Rail Workers Hazardous Materials Training Program to research the effectiveness of using an interactive DVD training tool entitled "Lessons Learned from Graniteville." The DVD will provide peer instructors with an interactive tool to facilitate small group exercises on responding to a freight train derailment involving hazardous materials. The DVD will be based on the Norfolk Southern railroad derailment that occurred in Graniteville, SC in January, 2005. The collision released over 11,000 gallons of chlorine gas, causing nine deaths and injuring hundreds. The DVD will bring this catastrophic accident to life in the classroom as part of a facilitated small group training exercise. Interactive DVD represents a technological innovation over traditional training media. It provides a low-cost approach to providing interactive video simulations in the classroom. The commercial applications for the proposed product are widespread. The audience for the "Lessons Learned from Graniteville" DVD is large. It includes all first responders, skilled support personnel, and rail workers who may be involved in rescue and clean-up operations. Funding for procuring training materials for first responders is now widely available at the local and state level, and there is currently no product that addresses hazmat rail incidents. The proposed research is relevant to public health due to the increasing level of hazardous materials being transported via rail, and the current lack of adequate training materials for emergency personnel responding to such incidents.

描述（由申请人提供） 拟议研究的长期目标是更好地准备紧急人员，以更安全有效地应对涉及危险材料的铁路事故。大约800,000种危险物质每天在整个美国旅行，经常通过人口稠密的地区，急性释放的后果可能导致环境损害，重伤或死亡。 Metamedia培训已与铁路工人危险材料培训计划合作，以研究使用题为“从Graniteville中学到的经验教训”的互动DVD培训工具的有效性。 DVD将为同行讲师提供互动工具，以促进小组练习，以应对涉及危险材料的货运火车出轨。 DVD将基于2005年1月在南卡罗来纳州格兰尼特维尔发生的诺福克南部铁路出轨。碰撞释放了11,000加仑的氯气，造成9人死亡并造成数百人受伤。 DVD将使这场灾难性的事故在课堂上栩栩如生，这是一项便利的小组培训活动的一部分。交互式DVD代表了传统培训媒体的技术创新。它提供了一种低成本的方法来在课堂上提供交互式视频模拟。拟议产品的商业应用程序广泛。 “从Graniteville中学到的教训” DVD的观众很大。它包括所有可能参与救援和清理行动的熟练支持人员和铁路工人。现在，在当地和州一级为急救人员采购培训材料的资金现在已广泛可用，目前尚无针对危险品铁路事件的产品。拟议的研究与公共卫生有关，这是因为通过铁路运输的危险材料的水平越来越高，并且目前缺乏适合此类事件的急诊人员的适当培训材料。
