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.

这项工作的长期目标是帮助大幅减少跌倒次数和跌倒相关事件 通过开发和实施新颖的低成本平衡训练来减少工作场所的伤害 对工人的干预。我们的重点是滑倒引起的跌倒，因为它们会造成很大的伤害 许多职业部门的跌倒百分比。提出了两个具体目标。第一个 目标将评估建筑工人现场滑倒恢复培训的可行性， 餐饮服务、家政服务和供水服务。第二个目标将评估有效性 通过确定与既定实验室的关联强度来进行平衡现场评估 基于平衡的措施。这些平衡的现场评估将用于评估 在随后的试验中滑倒恢复训练的效果。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；批发和零售业） 零售贸易），以及跨部门的创伤性伤害预防。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性伤害， NIOSH 中期目标：6.2 跌倒； 6.13 跌倒； 6.16 跌倒； 6.18 滑倒、绊倒和跌倒。这 项目还将通过与工人和管理层合作来解决 NIOSH r2p 倡议 在工业领域开发一种新颖、成本较低的滑倒预防干预措施。这项工作的成果将 包括 2-4 篇出版物和会议演讲。预计中期成果 文献中的引用（表明本文知识的应用）、培训 调查人员向公司提供滑倒恢复培训，并采用该培训 公司培训。最终结果预计将减少工作场所失误和 通过实施此处制定的干预措施而下降。
