Workplace fall prevention through slip recovery training

这项工作的长期目标是帮助大幅减少跌倒和与跌倒相关的次数 通过开发和实施一种新的、低成本的平衡训练来解决工作场所的伤害 对工人的干预。我们的重点是滑倒导致的跌倒，因为它们会造成巨大的 在许多职业领域下降的百分比。提出了两个具体目标。第一 AIM将评估在建筑工人中进行现场滑移恢复培训的可行性， 餐饮服务、家政服务和配水。第二个目的是评估 通过确定与已建立的实验室的关联强度来进行现场平衡评估- 基于平衡的衡量标准。这些对平衡的实地评估将用于评估 在随后的试验中滑倒恢复训练的有效性。该项目解决了多个Nora 部门(例如农业、林业和渔业；建筑业；采矿业；服务业；批发和 零售贸易)和跨部门创伤性伤害预防。这项研究还 解决NIOSH战略目标6：改善工作场所安全以减少创伤伤害， NIOSH的中期目标：6.2级；6.13级；6.16级；滑倒、绊倒和跌倒6.18级。这个 该项目还将通过与工人和管理层合作来解决NIOSH R2P倡议 在工业上提出了一种新颖、低成本的防滑防摔干预措施。这项工作的成果将是 包括2-4份出版物和会议报告。预计中期结果将 在文献中引用(表明这部作品中的知识的应用)，培训 由调查人员提供给公司的失足恢复培训，并采用这一 由公司进行培训。预计最终结果将是工作场所滑倒的减少和 由于这里制定的干预措施的实施而失败。

The long-term goal of this work is to help substantially reduce the number of falls and fall-related injuries in the workplace by developing and implementing a novel, low-cost balance training intervention for workers. Our focus is on slip-induced falls because they cause a large percentage of falls in many occupational sectors. Two specific aims are proposed. The first aim will evaluate the feasibility of on-site slip recovery training among workers in construction, food service, housekeeping, and water distribution. The second aim will evaluate the validity of field assessments of balance by determining their strength of association with established lab- based measures of balance. These field assessments of balance will be used to evaluate the efficacy of slip recovery training in a subsequent trial. This project addresses multiple NORA Sectors (e.g. Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing; Construction; Mining; Services; Wholesale and Retail Trade), and the Cross-Sector of Traumatic Injury Prevention. This research also addresses the NIOSH Strategic Goal 6: Improve workplace safety to reduce traumatic injuries, and NIOSH intermediate goals: 6.2 Falls; 6.13 Falls; 6.16 Falls; 6.18 Slips, trips, and falls. The project will also address the NIOSH r2p initiative by collaborating with workers and management in industry on a novel, lower-cost slip and fall prevention intervention. Outputs of this work will include 2-4 publications and conference presentations. Intermediate outcomes are expected to be citations in the literature (which indicate the application of knowledge from this work), training offered to companies by the investigators on slip recovery training, and the adoption of this training by companies. The end outcome is expected to be a reduction in workplace slips and falls through implementation of the intervention developed here.
