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.

产品说明：项目摘要inXsol建议设计和演示一个基于网络的多人小组模拟，以支持讲师领导的HazMat工人健康和安全培训。这个产品叫做HAZWORKER。使用分布式的，低成本的模拟将使个人获得一定程度的经验，在可能的角色在典型的事件和工作现场，并接收必要的重复可能的角色学习和专业知识的发展。模拟可以在真实的情况下（在职培训）或现场培训练习中获得更好的“开箱即用”性能和学习。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组织还无法进行模拟。inXsol的HAZworker方法将增加工人群体的访问权限，并更好地定位培训机构，为客户提供支持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）先前创建的基于计算机的仿真工具（CBST）作为该项目的基础。尽管这一工具取得了成功和重大部署，但只有一小部分接受TNEC培训的工人[更不用说其他WETP获奖者和该国的非WETP培训组织]可以使用CBST等工具。inXsol的基于网络的HAZworker模拟将增加行业对模拟的访问。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）已经确定了探索使用该工具对其组织的价值，并同意在第一阶段项目评估周期中至少将HAZworker纳入一个类别。通过使用现有的CBST产品和参与WETP获奖者的样本，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提出了基于网络的HAZworker开发（基于TNEC CBST），使用至少三个WETP类评估HAZworker，并与TNEC过去的结果相比评估用户体验。在第二阶段，将与参与WETP的组织一起创建创作功能。 公共卫生关系：项目叙述inXsol建议设计和演示一个基于网络的多人小组模拟，以支持教师领导的HazMat工人健康和安全培训。这个产品叫做HAZWORKER。使用分布式，低成本的模拟将使个人获得一定程度的经验，在典型的事件和工作现场的可能作用，并接收必要的重复学习和专业知识的发展可能的作用。模拟可以在真实的情况下（在职培训）或现场培训练习中获得更好的“开箱即用”性能和学习。inXsol正在利用 新英格兰财团（TNEC）先前创建了基于计算机的仿真工具（CBST）作为该项目的基础。
