Workplace fall prevention through slip recovery training

这项工作的长期目标是帮助大幅减少福尔斯和跌倒相关的数量。 通过开发和实施一种新的、低成本的平衡训练， 对工人的干预。我们的重点是滑倒引起的福尔斯，因为他们造成了一个大的 许多职业部门的福尔斯百分比下降。提出了两个具体目标。第一 aim将评估施工工人现场防滑恢复培训的可行性， 餐饮服务，家政服务，配水服务第二个目标是评估 通过确定其与已建立的实验室的关联强度， 平衡的基础。这些实地平衡评估将用于评估 在随后的试验中进行滑倒恢复训练的有效性。本项目涉及多个诺拉 部门（如农业、林业和渔业;建筑业;采矿业;服务业;批发业和 零售业）和跨部门的创伤预防。本研究也 NIOSH战略目标6：改善工作场所安全以减少创伤性伤害， 和NIOSH中间目标：6.2福尔斯; 6.13福尔斯; 6.16福尔斯; 6.18滑倒、绊倒和福尔斯。的 该项目还将通过与工人和管理层合作，解决NIOSH的r2 p倡议 在工业上，一种新的，低成本的滑倒和跌倒预防干预。这项工作的成果将 包括2-4份出版物和会议报告。中期成果预计将 被引用的文献（这表明从这项工作的知识的应用），培训 调查人员向公司提供的关于滑倒恢复培训的信息， 公司的培训。预计最终结果将是减少工作场所的失误， 福尔斯通过实施这里制定的干预措施。

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.
