Program on Occupational Health and Safety Education on Emerging Technologies - Mid Atlantic Partnership (POccET MAP)

项目摘要 许多新兴技术在工作场所和非职业领域变得越来越普遍。 例如商业和住宅环境。虽然有明显的好处，这些 技术、意外接触及其使用带来的风险正变得越来越明显。促进 这些技术的安全和可持续发展和使用需要大量的专业人员 和研究人员与跨学科的教育，培训和适应性，以解决这些职业 健康和安全（OHS）问题。约翰霍普金斯大学、马里兰州大学、乔治梅森 大学，和老自治领大学提出合作的职业计划 新兴技术健康和安全教育-中大西洋伙伴关系（POccETMAP）， 开发一套全面的基于网络的教育和培训模块、课程和计划，以促进 安全开发和使用新兴技术，并减轻其风险，新出现的污染物， 备灾。为了实现这一目标，我们将开发五个在线专业培训核心 职业健康安全专家、工程师、科学家、技术员和教员，在以下领域： （B）风险评估战略;（c）备灾和 风险管理;（d）弱势职业群体;（e）可持续生产和产品 新兴技术的管理。在核心部分，我们将通过示例演示概念， 从以下新兴技术中得出的说明：诸如3D打印的增材制造， 新的消毒技术、电子尼古丁输送系统和纳米生物技术。每个核心将 包含10个创新的，基于网络的模块，包括简短的叙述屏幕广播，动画，练习， 活动教师将使用这些模块来创建学术课程，课程和计划， 继续教育环境。所有材料都将在网上免费提供，确保POccETMAP 该计划具有区域，国家和全球影响力。这一创新计划及其教育产品将 以工业卫生专业学生、其他科学、工程和技术学科的学生为目标;以及 需要继续接受新兴技术的健康和安全教育的专业人员。

PROJECT SUMMARY Many emerging technologies are becoming increasing ubiquitous in workplaces as well as non-occupational settings such as commercial and residential environments. While there are obvious benefits to these technologies, unintended exposures and risks from their use are becoming increasingly apparent. Fostering the safe and sustainable development and use of these technologies requires a critical mass of professionals and researchers with the interdisciplinary education, training, and adaptability to tackle these occupational health and safety (OHS) issues. Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland, George Mason University, and Old Dominion University propose to work collaboratively on the Program on Occupational health and safety education on Emerging Technologies – Mid Atlantic Partnership (POccETMAP) to develop a comprehensive set of web-based educational and training modules, courses, and programs to foster the safe development and use of emerging technologies and mitigate their risks, emerging contaminants, and disaster preparedness. To accomplish this objective, we will develop five online cores for professional training of OHS specialists, engineers, scientists, technicians, and instructors in the areas of (a) Detection Technologies for emerging contaminants; (b) Exposure assessment strategies; (c) Disaster preparedness and risk management; (d) Vulnerable occupational populations, and (e) Sustainable production and product stewardship of emerging technologies. In the cores, we will demonstrate concepts with examples and illustrations drawn from the following emerging technologies: additive manufacturing such as 3-D printing, novel technologies for disinfection, electronic nicotine delivery systems, and nanobiotechnology. Each core will contain 10 innovative, web-based modules that include short narrated screencasts, animations, exercises, and activities. Instructors will use the modules to create lessons, courses, and programs in academic and continuing education settings. All materials will be freely available on the web, ensuring that the POccETMAP Program has a regional, national, and global reach. This innovative program and its educational products will target industrial hygiene students; students in other science, engineering, and technology disciplines; and professionals who require continuing education on the health and safety of emerging technologies.
