DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Skilled Service Personnel (SSP) support emergency response organizations during an emergency incident involving weapons of mass destruction and include laborers, operating engineers, carpenters, ironworkers, sanitation workers and utility workers. SSP called to an emergency incident rarely have recent detailed training on the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and/or explosives (CBRNE) agents or the personal protective equipment (PPE) relevant to the incident. This increases personal risk to the SSP and mission risk at the incident site. Training for SSP has been identified as a critical need by the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, Worker Education and Training Program and is consistent with its mission to prevent work related harm from exposure to hazardous materials. The proposed STTR project addresses this SSP training shortfall by exploiting a new training paradigm called just-in-time training (JITT) made possible by advances in distance learning and cellular telephony. BanDeMar Networks and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) - School of Public Health (SPH) propose to develop a JITT system for SSP who are called to an emergency incident that will provide secure access to information and short (<5 minutes) incident-specific learning modules on their cell phones about the hazardous agent(s) involved, the PPE needed and general decontamination procedures for the hazardous agent(s). Learning modules will be designed for cell phone user interfaces and incorporate audio, video, interactive simulations, graphics, animation and assessment. Phase I will investigate the feasibility of a JITT system that operates with most current cell phones over all wireless service providers and that integrates with the incident management system. Phase I will also investigate the instructional design of such over-the-air on-demand information and learning modules. Prototypical learning modules and wireless functionality will be developed in Phase I to support field tests with 60 individuals involved in emergency response operations and/or attending hazardous materials courses at the UMDNJ-SPH. Written surveys and personal interviews will be done to evaluate the proposed JITT system information entry ergonomics, authentication and training ergonomics and quality of the over-the-air streaming content. The JITT system will help reduce the potential risk of injury and illness for SSP who are responding to emergency incidents. The JITT system also has great potential for providing JITT for other training needs in public health.

描述（由申请人提供） 技术服务人员（SSP）在涉及大规模毁灭性武器的紧急事件期间支持应急响应组织，包括劳工，操作工程师，木匠，钢铁工人，环卫工人和公用事业工人。接到紧急事件通知的SSP很少接受过关于化学、生物、辐射、核和/或爆炸物（CBRNE）制剂或与事件相关的个人防护设备的最近详细培训。这增加了SSP的个人风险和事故现场的使命风险。国家环境健康科学研究所、工人教育和培训计划已将SSP培训确定为一项关键需求，并与其防止因接触危险材料而造成的工作相关伤害的使命一致。拟议的STTR项目解决了SSP培训不足的问题，利用一种新的培训模式，称为即时培训（JITT），使远程学习和蜂窝电话的进步成为可能。BanDeMar Networks和新泽西医学和牙科大学（UMDNJ）-公共卫生学院（SPH）建议为SSP开发一个JITT系统，该系统将提供对信息的安全访问和短时间的访问。（<5分钟）在手机上播放关于所涉危险物质的特定事件学习模块，所需的个人防护设备和危险物质的一般去污程序。学习模块将为手机用户界面设计，并包括音频、视频、交互式模拟、图形、动画和评估。第一阶段将调查一个JITT系统的可行性，该系统与所有无线服务提供商的大多数当前手机一起运行，并与事件管理系统集成。第一阶段还将调查这种空中点播信息和学习单元的教学设计。原型学习模块和无线功能将在第一阶段开发，以支持现场测试，其中60人参与应急响应操作和/或参加UMDNJ-SPH的危险材料课程。将进行书面调查和个人访谈，以评估拟议的JITT系统信息输入人体工程学、认证和培训人体工程学以及空中流内容的质量。JITT系统将有助于减少应对紧急事件的SSP的受伤和疾病的潜在风险。JITT系统也有很大的潜力为公共卫生的其他培训需求提供JITT。
