DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Based on Bureau of Labor Statistics and Energy Information Administration projections, the mining industry is expected to grow and diversify its workforce over the next ten years due to expanding opportunities for exploration and production, retirement of veteran miners, and a generation of new and foreign workers. Significant and immediate labor needs will attract younger, inexperienced employees who represent a change in culture and increased risk in the safety and health environment. With fatality and injury rates declining in the past due to strengthened regulation, enforcement and training, employers are encouraged to continue seeking ways to reach a "zero" culture in order to sustain these improvements. These challenges present the need for refined training approaches and the capture of worker experience so critical to the mentor - prot�g� relationships that readily exist i the mines. The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) team proposes to design, produce and deliver a Leadership Development Course for 1st Line Supervisors to address the immediate needs of supervisors facing a new dimension of workers. By incorporating best practice adult learning principles and a systems approach, the course will focus on the fundamental development of leaders in the mining workforce, strengthening existing on-the-job-training (OJT) practices with train-the-trainer (T3) concepts, and enabling the occupational culture to pursue a prevention practice that will move the industry closer to accomplishing "zero". In addition, this proposal will produce and distribute a new documentary titled Fire in the Wilberg Mine which occurred in 1984 with the loss of twenty-seven Utah miners. Through interviews with workers who directly experienced and investigated the disaster, this documentary will facilitate the transfer of knowledge by communicating those events to the audience. We will draw from an experienced team of trainers and video documentary producers to successfully deliver these new training products to miners in the Western U.S. over the three year project period.

描述(申请人提供)：根据美国劳工统计局和能源信息管理局的预测，由于勘探和生产机会的扩大、老矿工的退休以及新一代和外籍工人的涌现，采矿业预计在未来十年内将增长和多样化其劳动力。重大和紧迫的劳动力需求将吸引更年轻、缺乏经验的员工，这些员工代表着文化的变化和安全和健康环境中风险的增加。过去，由于加强了监管、执法和培训，死亡率和伤害率有所下降，因此鼓励雇主继续寻求实现“零”文化的途径，以保持这些改善。这些挑战提出了改进培训方法和获取工人经验的必要性，这些经验对于矿山中随时存在的导师-门生�g�关系至关重要。德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校(UTA)团队提议为一线主管设计、制作和提供领导力发展课程，以满足面临新员工维度的主管的迫切需求。通过采用最佳实践成人学习原则和系统方法，该课程将侧重于矿业劳动力领导者的基本发展，加强现有的在职培训(OJT)实践，并利用培训员培训(T3)的概念，使职业文化能够追求一种预防实践，使该行业更接近实现“零”。此外，这项提议还将制作和发行一部新纪录片，名为威尔伯格矿火灾，这部纪录片发生在1984年，犹他州有27名矿工丧生。通过对直接经历和调查这场灾难的工人的采访，这部纪录片将通过向观众传达这些事件来促进知识的转移。我们将从经验丰富的培训师和视频纪录片制作人团队中汲取经验，在三年的项目期内成功地将这些新的培训产品交付给美国西部的矿工。
