DESCRIPTION: Project Summary/Abstract MetaMedia will use Apple's iPad to deliver high quality, job-related case studies that will enable trainees in the Maritime Industry to interact wih a hands-on application. These Case Studies will cover the most critical information and knowledge required for a maritime workers including; dock workers, stevedores, laborers, longshoremen, dock and ship supervisors, and law enforcement personnel associated with the maritime industry. The scenarios will be based on actual incidents that occurred at Port Everglades in 2008 and Terminal Island, Los Angeles in June of 2011. The Port Everglades scenario will replay the event when three men were tragically killed as the result of an unknown Argon gas leak from a pressurized container placed in a cargo hold (i.e. space in a ship for storing cargo). These deaths could have been prevented. By recreating this scenario using 3-D animations and high definition video, we will be able to cover critical information for dock workers to recognize the potential hazards in working in and around hazardous materials, be cognizant of air quality and any observed leakage, and be knowledgeable of protocols for implementing emergency response decisions. The highly realistic scenario will cover the most critical information and knowledge required for dock workers to perform an incident risk-free response related to a chemical leak, including the chemical and physical properties that influence the decision-making process, with a particular emphasis on confined spaces and/or oxygen- depleted environments. An interactive design similar to previous successful and comparable simulations developed by MetaMedia under SBIR grants will enable participants to engage with fellow trainees (and the "device") in a "simulated live" field drill via small groups. The second scenario will follow the same interactive format and will replay a recent hazardous chemical event that resulted in the hospitalization of a longshoreman who was exposed to an unknown chemical substance on the freight yard in the Port of Los Angeles. Thankfully, no deaths occurred in this recent instance, but the necessary protocols brought 5 agencies to the scene including fire departments, police departments, and the U.S. Coast Guard. Our overarching goal is to reduce injuries and death by providing engaging and interactive safety training for maritime workers who work in environments that pose health and safety risks on a regular basis.

产品说明：项目摘要/摘要MetaMedia将使用苹果公司的iPad提供高质量的，与工作相关的案例研究，使海事行业的学员能够与动手应用程序进行互动。这些案例研究将涵盖海事工人所需的最关键的信息和知识，包括码头工人，装卸工，劳工，码头工人，码头和船舶监督员以及与海事行业相关的执法人员。这些情景将基于2008年在大沼泽地港和2011年6月在洛杉矶终端岛发生的实际事件。大沼泽地港的场景将重演三名男子因放置在货舱（即船上用于储存货物的空间）中的加压容器发生未知氩气泄漏而悲惨死亡的事件。这些死亡本可以避免。通过使用3D动画和高清视频重现这一场景，我们将能够为码头工人提供关键信息，以识别在危险材料中和周围工作的潜在危险，了解空气质量和任何观察到的泄漏，并了解实施应急响应决策的协议。高度真实的情景将涵盖码头工人执行与化学品泄漏相关的无风险事件响应所需的最关键信息和知识，包括影响决策过程的化学和物理特性，特别强调密闭空间和/或缺氧环境。一个类似于以前成功的和可比的模拟开发的MetaMedia在SBIR赠款的互动设计将使参与者参与与其他学员（和“设备”）在一个“模拟现场”实地演练通过小组。 第二个场景将遵循相同的交互式格式，并将重播最近发生的危险化学品事件，该事件导致一名码头工人在洛杉矶港的货场上接触到一种未知的化学物质而住院治疗。值得庆幸的是，在最近的这起事件中没有发生死亡事件，但必要的协议使5个机构到达现场，包括消防部门，警察部门和美国海岸警卫队。我们的总体目标是通过为在定期构成健康和安全风险的环境中工作的海事工人提供参与和互动的安全培训来减少伤亡。
