DESCRIPTION: Project Summary inXsol proposes to design and demonstrate a web-based, multiplayer small group simulation to support instructor led HazMat worker health and safety training. This product is called HAZworker. The use of distributed, low-cost simulation will allow individuals to attain a level of experience in the probable roles at typical incidents and work sits and to receive the necessary repetition in possible roles for learning and expertise development. Simulations can lead to better "out of the box" performance and learning at a real situation (on-job training) or live training exercises. Until recently, simulations were out of reach for small training organizations serving the worker health and safety clients over a broad geographic area because of cost and technical infrastructure necessary. inXsol's HAZworker approach will increase access for the worker population and better position training organizations to serve their clients with relevant simulation training supporting HAZWOPER and ongoing refresher training. inXsol is leveraging The New England Consortium's (TNEC) previously created computer-based simulation tool (CBST) as a foundation for this project. Despite the success and significant deployment of this tool, only a fraction of workers trained by TNEC [let alone other WETP awardees, and non-WETP training organizations in this country] have access to tools like CBST. inXsol's web-based HAZworker simulation will increase access to simulations for the industry. In addition to TNEC's primary role for this project, UCLA - Labor Occupational Safety and Health (LOSH) and The Texas-Utah Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training (TUCHWWT) have identified the value of exploring use of this tool for their organizations and have agreed to include HAZworker in at least one class during the Phase I project evaluation cycle. By using the existing CBST product and engaging a sample of WETP awardees, inXsol has significantly lowered the execution risk of this project while increasing the commercialization opportunities. For Phase I inXsol proposes web-based development of HAZworker (based on the TNEC CBST), evaluate HAZworker with at least three WETP classes, and evaluate the user experience compared to TNEC's past results. During Phase II authoring functionality will be created in conjunction with the participating WETP organizations.

描述：Xsol的项目摘要建议设计和演示一个基于网络的多人小组模拟，以支持教师指导的危险物质工人健康和安全培训。这款产品名为HAZWorker。分布式低成本模拟的使用将使个人能够在典型事件和工作地点的可能角色中获得一定程度的经验，并在可能的角色中获得必要的重复，以用于学习和专业知识发展。模拟可以带来更好的“开箱即用”表现和在真实情况下(在职培训)或现场培训练习中的学习。直到最近，由于成本和必要的技术基础设施，为广大地理区域的工人健康和安全客户提供服务的小型培训机构还无法进行模拟。InXsol的HAZWorker方法将为工人群体和更好的定位培训机构提供更多机会，为他们的客户提供支持HAZWOPER的相关模拟培训和持续的进修培训。InXsol正在利用新英格兰联盟(TNEC)以前创建的基于计算机的模拟工具(CBST)作为该项目的基础。尽管这一工具取得了成功并得到了大量部署，但只有一小部分接受过TNEC培训的工人[更不用说这个国家的其他WETP获奖者和非WETP培训机构]能够使用CBST这样的工具。InXsol的基于网络的HAZWorker模拟将增加该行业对模拟的访问。除了TNEC在该项目中的主要作用外，加州大学洛杉矶分校-劳动职业安全与健康(LOSH)和德克萨斯州-犹他州危险废物工人培训联盟(TUCHWWT)已经确定了为其组织探索使用该工具的价值，并同意在第一阶段项目评估周期中将HAZWorker纳入至少一个类别。通过使用现有的CBST产品并聘请WETP获奖者样本，inXsol显著降低了该项目的执行风险，同时增加了商业化机会。对于第一阶段，inXsol建议基于网络开发HAZWorker(基于TNEC CBST)，使用至少三个WETP类对HAZWorker进行评估，并将用户体验与TNEC过去的结果进行比较。在第二阶段期间，将与参与WETP的组织一起创建创作功能。 公共卫生相关性：Xsol中的项目叙述建议设计和演示一个基于网络的、多人小组模拟，以支持教师指导的危险源工人健康和安全培训。这款产品名为HAZWorker。分布式低成本模拟的使用将使个人能够在典型事件和工作地点的可能角色中获得一定程度的经验，并在可能的角色中获得必要的重复，以用于学习和专业知识发展。模拟可以带来更好的“开箱即用”表现和在真实情况下(在职培训)或现场培训练习中的学习。InXsol正在利用 新英格兰联盟(TNEC)之前创建了基于计算机的模拟工具(CBST)，作为该项目的基础。
