马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔分校工作环境部与四个新英格兰职业安全与健康联盟(COSH)小组合作，已经开发并正在为整个新英格兰地区的危险废物场地工人和应急人员提供参与式和以学习者为中心的健康和安全培训。该联盟为危险废物工人创建了一个非专业人员可以使用的技术课程，更重要的是，该课程借鉴了工人自己的经验和知识，作为信息、教育和经验资源的来源。在这篇文章中，我们考察了该联盟的目标、培训方法的适用性、其成功和失败，以及这种教学技术对有效和授权的健康和安全培训所具有的更广泛的影响。我们的结论是，这样的教学技巧是在积极和有益的氛围中提供技术知识和技能的成功手段。然而，我们也得出结论，这种教育形式的赋权程度，就像它的许多支持者所声称的那样，不那么明确。
The University of Massachusetts at Lowell Work Environment Department, working jointly with four New England coalitions on occupational safety and health (COSH) groups, has developed and is delivering participatory and learner-centered health and safety training for hazardous waste site workers and emergency responders throughout New England. This consortium has created a technical curriculum for hazardous waste workers accessible to the nonspecialist and which, more importantly, draws upon workers' own experience and knowledge as a source of information, education, and experiential resources. In this article, we examine the goals of the consortium, the applicability of the training method, its successes and failures, and the wider implications such pedagogical techniques have for effective and empowering health and safety training. We conclude that such a teaching technique is a successful means of providing technical knowledge and skills in a positive and rewarding atmosphere. We also conclude, however, that the extent to which this form of education is empowering, as is claimed by many of its proponents, is less clear-cut.
