PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) was formed to protect workers and prevent work-related injuries. OSHA standards include explicit safety and health training requirements to ensure that the workers have required skills and knowledge to do their work safely. Benten Technologies is partnering with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) to help workers in the HAZMAT/HAZWASTE indusry gain the training they need to do their job safely and effectively. Benten will develop an Augmented reality (AR)/Mixed reality (MR) platform called “Safety using Augmented reality to Facilitate Effective Training and Education (SAFE-TE),” that enhances training in combination with classroom and practical training, and that is more efficient, effective and engaging than the traditional one. The platform will have programmable/configurable environment using Bluetooth beacons and fiducial markers to initially deliver the HAZWOPER Initial Hazardous Waste Worker training program to allow instructors to conduct simulated real-world training for individuals that work with hazardous materials and wastes. The innovative AR mobile platform will allow IBT to conduct the already successful training hazardous materials worker training program with ease. The objective of SAFE-TE is to support workers being trained, to work with hazardous materials more safely and efficiently. Approach: SAFE-TE will be initially designed and developed by Benten Technologies utilizing training scripts and curriculum provided by the IBT. The specific aims of this SBIR are: 1. Develop the prototype SAFE-TE platform integrating commercial components, such as Estimote’s Bluetooth beacon and Samsung hardware, for training within workplace environments. 2. Conduct a usability pilot test of SAFE-TE to test the effectiveness of AR training with 20 trainees and 5 instructors to augment practical hands-on training when compared with hands-on using props. The power that AR will have in HAZMAT/HAZWASTE training will be transformative for the industry because it will revolutionize many aspects of the training from design and creation to how it is conducted. It will allow for, instructor-led and created training scenarios that incorporate AR technology to allow for mixed-reality training that accurately reflect the types of hazards that the worker may encounter on a HAZWASTE site or during the transportation of hazardous materials. AR training will allow for realistic training using interactive drills, so the workers learn the relevant information they need, in the environment, they will be working in. This will aid in knowledge, skills, and aptitude retention and also allow the workers to reference the material later on as they need it since it will all be stored digitally.

项目摘要/摘要 成立了《职业安全与健康法》（OSHA），以保护工人并防止与工作有关 受伤。 OSHA标准包括明确的安全和健康培训要求，以确保工人 需要技能和知识来安全地完成工作。 Benten Technologies正在与 国际团队兄弟会（IBT）帮助Hazmat/Hazwaste工业的工人获得 培训他们需要安全有效地完成工作。 Benten将发展增强现实（AR）/混合 现实（MR）平台称为“使用增强现实的安全性来促进有效的培训和教育 （Safe-Te），”，增强了与课堂和实践培训结合的培训，这更多 高效，有效且引人入胜。该平台将具有可编程/可配置的 使用蓝牙信标和基准标记的环境最初提供Hazwoper初始危险 废物工人培训计划允许讲师为个人进行模拟的现实世界培训 使用危险的材料和废物。创新的AR移动平台将允许IBT进行 已经成功培训有害材料工人培训计划。安全性的目的 是为了支持接受培训的工人，以更安全有效地使用危险材料。 方法：Safe-TE最初是由使用培训脚本的Benten Technologies设计和开发的 和IBT提供的课程。该SBIR的具体目的是： 1。开发集成商业组件的原型安全性平台，例如Estimote的 蓝牙信标和三星硬件，用于在工作场所环境中进行培训。 2。进行安全性的可用性试点测试，以测试20名学员和5名AR培训的有效性 与使用道具的动手实践相比，讲师可以增加实践动手培训。 AR在Hazmat/Hazwaste培训中所具有的力量将对该行业产生影响 将彻底改变培训的许多方面，从设计和创建到进行方式。它将允许， 由讲师主导并创建的培训场景，融合了AR技术以允许进行混合现实培训 准确地反映了工人在危险机场或期间可能遇到的危害的类型 危险材料的运输。 AR培训将允许使用互动训练进行现实的培训，因此 工人在环境中学习他们需要的相关信息，他们将在工作中工作。这将有助于 知识，技能和能力保留，还允许工人以后参考材料 需要它，因为它将全部用于数字存储。
