 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Western Mining Safety & Health Training Resource Center: Translating Training to Competency Summary: Mine workers in the US sit through millions of hours of safety training each year but the training is often not as effective as it nees to be. Companies are increasingly focused on defining competencies for task training that will improve safety outcomes. Our objective is to translate training into improved safety and health competencies that will decrease the rate of fatalities, injuries, and illness in western mines. We have five aims: 1) We propose to network the best mine safety trainers to create a high-performing technical advisory committee to assist in writing training materials that use active learning and are based on competencies that will improve transfer of safety learning from the training room to the workplace. 2) We will run a high performance training clinic to train trainers to use these best practices and we will certify high performing trainers after they successfully pass an implementation program. 3) We will measure the effectiveness of the transfer of training knowledge to practice by developing a validated adult learning instrument. 4) We will also adapt our computer simulation software platform to measure safety competencies. 5) Our Mine Institute for Supervisor Leadership (MISL) will be modified to include competency training. All of our materials and training practices will accommodate English Language Learners, low literacy learners, and education disadvantaged learners (e.g. dyslexia). We will have a particular focus on serving the needs of small and medium sized mines. Our outcomes include 6 deliverables: 1) We will define competencies for high-performing trainers and issue a certificate in conjunction with the International Society of Mine Safety Professionals for trainers that have completed our training and met the implementation criteria. 2) We will run a high-performance training clinic to increase the number and quality of trainers. 3) We will produce instructor and student manuals for new miner and annual refresher training that implement the very best practices for active learning and that will result in better transfer of the safety knowledge to the workplace. 4) We will create new serious games based on fatalgrams and mine inspections to test safety competencies. 5) We revise the MISL with additional competency modules. Our impacts will be: 1) an increased number of highly effective trainers in the Western US that meet a recognized level of competency; 2) an increased number of miners who are better able to translate their training knowledge to competent practices in the workplace; 3) better access to high quality training for small and medium sized companies and for education disadvantaged miners; 4) improved safety record for Western mines.

 描述（由申请人提供）：西部矿业安全与健康培训资源中心：将培训转化为能力摘要：美国的煤矿工人每年接受数百万小时的安全培训，但培训往往没有达到应有的效果。公司越来越注重为任务培训定义能力，以提高安全结果。我们的目标是将培训转化为提高安全和健康能力，从而降低西部矿山的死亡率、受伤率和患病率。我们有五个目标：（1）我们提议将最好的矿山安全培训员联网，以建立一个高绩效的技术咨询委员会，协助编写培训材料，这些材料采用主动学习的方式，并以能力为基础，将促进安全学习从培训室转移到工作场所。2)我们将开办一个高绩效培训诊所， 使用这些最佳实践，我们将在成功通过实施计划后对高绩效培训师进行认证。3)我们将通过开发一种经过验证的成人学习工具来衡量培训知识向实践转移的有效性。4)我们还将调整我们的计算机模拟软件平台，以衡量安全能力。5)我们的矿山主管领导学院（MISL）将进行修改，以包括能力培训。我们所有的材料和培训实践将适应英语学习者，低识字率学习者和教育弱势学习者（例如阅读障碍）。我们将特别关注满足中小型矿山的需求。我们的成果包括6项可交付成果：1）我们将与国际矿山安全专业人员协会一道，为高绩效培训师定义能力，并为完成培训并符合实施标准的培训师颁发证书。2)我们将开办一个高绩效培训诊所，以提高培训人员的数量和质量。3)我们将为新矿工和年度进修培训制作教师和学生手册，实施积极学习的最佳实践，并将安全知识更好地转移到工作场所。4)我们将创造新的基于危险图和矿井检查的严肃游戏，以测试安全能力。5)我们用额外的能力模块修订了MISL。我们的影响将是：1）美国西部越来越多的高效培训师达到公认的能力水平; 2）越来越多的矿工能够更好地将他们的培训知识转化为工作场所的胜任实践; 3）中小型公司更容易获得高质量的培训，教育弱势矿工; 4）改善西部矿山的安全记录。
