PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) was formed to protect workers and prevent work-related injuries. OSHA standards include explicit safety and health training requirements to ensure that the workers have required skills and knowledge to do their work safely. Benten Technologies is partnering with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) to help workers in the HAZMAT/HAZWASTE indusry gain the training they need to do their job safely and effectively. Benten will develop an Augmented reality (AR)/Mixed reality (MR) platform called “Safety using Augmented reality to Facilitate Effective Training and Education (SAFE-TE),” that enhances training in combination with classroom and practical training, and that is more efficient, effective and engaging than the traditional one. The platform will have programmable/configurable environment using Bluetooth beacons and fiducial markers to initially deliver the HAZWOPER Initial Hazardous Waste Worker training program to allow instructors to conduct simulated real-world training for individuals that work with hazardous materials and wastes. The innovative AR mobile platform will allow IBT to conduct the already successful training hazardous materials worker training program with ease. The objective of SAFE-TE is to support workers being trained, to work with hazardous materials more safely and efficiently. Approach: SAFE-TE will be initially designed and developed by Benten Technologies utilizing training scripts and curriculum provided by the IBT. The specific aims of this SBIR are: 1. Develop the prototype SAFE-TE platform integrating commercial components, such as Estimote’s Bluetooth beacon and Samsung hardware, for training within workplace environments. 2. Conduct a usability pilot test of SAFE-TE to test the effectiveness of AR training with 20 trainees and 5 instructors to augment practical hands-on training when compared with hands-on using props. The power that AR will have in HAZMAT/HAZWASTE training will be transformative for the industry because it will revolutionize many aspects of the training from design and creation to how it is conducted. It will allow for, instructor-led and created training scenarios that incorporate AR technology to allow for mixed-reality training that accurately reflect the types of hazards that the worker may encounter on a HAZWASTE site or during the transportation of hazardous materials. AR training will allow for realistic training using interactive drills, so the workers learn the relevant information they need, in the environment, they will be working in. This will aid in knowledge, skills, and aptitude retention and also allow the workers to reference the material later on as they need it since it will all be stored digitally.

项目摘要/摘要 《职业安全与健康法》(OSHA)是为了保护工人并防止与工作有关的 受伤。OSHA标准包括明确的安全和健康培训要求，以确保工人 具备安全工作所需的技能和知识。Benten Technologies正在与 国际卡车司机兄弟会(IBT)帮助危险物质/HAZWASTE工业的工人获得 培训他们需要安全有效地完成他们的工作。Benten将开发增强现实(AR)/混合 现实(MR)平台名为“使用增强现实促进有效培训和教育的安全” (SAFE-TE)“，加强与课堂和实践培训相结合的培训，这是更多 比传统的更有效率、更有效、更吸引人。该平台将具有可编程/可配置 使用蓝牙信标和基准标记初始交付HAZWOPER初始危险的环境 废物工人培训计划，允许讲师对符合以下条件的个人进行模拟现实世界培训 处理危险材料和废物。创新的AR移动平台将使IBT能够进行 已经成功培训的危险材料工人轻松培训计划。“安全工程”的目标 是为了支持正在接受培训的工人，让他们更安全、更高效地处理危险材料。 方法：SAFE-TE将由Benten Technologies利用培训脚本进行初始设计和开发 和IBT提供的课程。这项SBIR的具体目标是： 1.开发集成Estimote等商用组件的SAFE-TE原型平台 蓝牙信标和三星硬件，用于工作场所环境中的培训。 2.对20名学员和5名学员进行SAFE-TE可用性中试，以检验AR培训的效果 与使用道具的实际操作相比，指导员可以加强实际操作培训。 AR在危险物质/HAZWASTE培训方面的力量将对该行业产生变革，因为它 将给培训的许多方面带来革命性的变化，从设计和创作到如何进行培训。它将允许， 讲师指导并创建了包含AR技术的培训场景，以支持混合现实培训 准确反映工人在HAZWASTE现场或在生产过程中可能遇到的危险类型 危险材料的运输。AR培训将允许使用交互式演练进行现实培训，因此 工人学习他们需要的相关信息，在环境中，他们将在其中工作。这将有助于 知识、技能和能力保持，还允许工人在以后参考材料时 需要它，因为它将全部以数字形式存储。
