DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 4.4.6 Project Summary Abstract During Phase I, MetaMedia Training teamed with the Rail Workers Hazardous Materials Training Program to produce the prototype DVD training tool entitled }Lessons Learned from Graniteville.} The specific aim of the Phase II project is to complete the design and develop a full interactive virtual experience that will reduce the risk faced by Rail Workers, First Responders, and the community when dealing with incidents involving hazardous materials transported by rail. If First Responders and Rail Workers follow a systematic approach to handling emergency incidents, public safety and workers' safety and health will be better protected and disasters may be mitigated more rapidly. This 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. 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. In 2006 there were three recorded instances of chlorine tank car derailments in the United States. The DVD brings to life as a facilitated training exercise the catastrophic Norfolk Southern railroad derailment that occurred in Graniteville, SC in 2005. The collision released over 11,000 gallons of chlorine gas, causing nine deaths, injuring hundreds, and displacing hundreds more civilians. We have incorporated compelling and realistic interactive video simulations of hazardous materials incidents, instructive three dimensional computer animations, and engaging team exercises to produce an effective training tool that successfully transfers knowledge as noted in the subsequent evaluation. MetaMedia's application of DVD technology will take advantage of the unique features of DVD, such as high-quality motion video, interactive branching, and low-cost delivery systems to bring real-world simulations into the classroom. The deliverables for Phase II will be a completed DVD program providing up to 4 hours of content, including recommendations resulting from the evaluation, additional components of the interactive experience, and instructor and student guides. 4.4.7 Project Narrative This 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. 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. Exposure to chlorine gas shipments alone, traveling to drinking water and waste water treatment plants, exposes more than 25 million Americans who live near these facilities and one million more living in cities and towns along the rail delivery routes.1 DHS and security experts continue to warn of the risk for industrial chemicals used by terrorists as weapons of mass destruction. Terrorists have attacked and blown up several trucks carrying chlorine in Iraq. There are over 63,999 chemicals used outside the laboratory environment as reported by the Chemical Abstracts Service). DOT regulates over 3,800 hazardous materials in transportation, as listed in 49 CFR. EPA lists 15 chemicals that account for two-thirds of all chemical releases. Over 70% of all hazardous materials in the United States are shipped in railroad tank cars. 1 Toxic Trains and the Terrorist Threat, Paul Orun, National Labor College, Rail Workers Hazardous Materials Training, April 2007.

描述（由申请人提供）： 4.4.6项目摘要摘要在第一阶段，Metamedia培训与铁路工人的危险材料培训计划合作，制作了从Graniteville中学到的经验教训的原型DVD培训工具。} ii阶段II阶段项目的具体目的是完成设计并开发完整的交互式虚拟经验，从而减少型号范围内的材料，并在材料中降低型号的范围，并在INCRAIDS上进行交通范围，并与Incads in Incks and Incide and InciND InciND INC INC INC INC INCID。如果急救人员和铁路工人遵循一种系统的方法来处理紧急事件，则公共安全和工人的安全和健康将得到更好的保护，并且可能会更快地减轻灾难。这项研究与公共卫生有关，因为通过铁路运输的危险材料的水平不断提高，目前缺乏适合此类事件的紧急人员培训材料。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。 2006年，美国有三个记录的氯坦克汽车出轨实例。 DVD随着促进的训练活动的栩栩如生，2005年在南卡罗来纳州格兰尼特维尔发生的灾难性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次死亡，造成9人死亡，受伤，数百人造成了数百人，并增加了数百名平民。我们已经结合了引人入胜且现实的互动视频模拟，以造成危险材料事件，有启发性的三维计算机动画以及引人入胜的团队练习，以生成有效的培训工具，该工具成功地转移了随后评估中指出的知识。 Metamedia的DVD技术应用将利用DVD的独特功能，例如高质量的运动视频，交互式分支和低成本交付系统，以将真实世界的模拟带入课堂。第二阶段的可交付成果将是完整的DVD计划，最多可提供4个小时的内容，包括评估所产生的建议，互动体验的其他组成部分以及讲师和学生指南。 4.4.7项目叙述这项研究与公共卫生有关，因为通过铁路运输的危险材料的水平越来越高，目前缺乏足够的培训材料来应对此类事件的应急人员。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。仅暴露于氯气运输，前往饮用水和废水处理厂，暴露于居住在这些设施附近的2500万美国人，沿着铁路运输路线居住在城镇中的100万人。1DHS和安全专家继续警告恐怖分子用作大规模杀伤性武器的工业化学品风险。恐怖分子袭击并炸毁了在伊拉克携带氯的几辆卡车。根据化学摘要服务的报道，在实验室环境之外使用了超过63,999种化学物质）。 DOT在49 CFR中列出，在运输中调节超过3,800种危险材料。 EPA列出了15种占所有化学释放的三分之二的化学物质。美国所有危险材料中有70％以上是在铁路罐中运输的。 1有毒火车和恐怖威胁，保罗·奥伦（Paul Orun），国家劳动学院，铁路工人危险材料培训，2007年4月。
