Mobile Just-In-Time Training of Emergency Response Personnel - Phase II

描述（由申请人提供）： 技术服务人员（SSP）在紧急事件期间为应急响应组织提供支持，包括劳工、操作工程师、木匠、铁工、环卫工人和公用事业工人。接到紧急事件通知的SSP很少接受过关于他们可能遇到的化学、生物、放射性、核和/或爆炸物（CBRNE）制剂或与事件相关的个人防护设备（PPE）的最近详细培训。这增加了SSP的个人风险和事故现场的使命风险。国家环境卫生科学研究所、工人教育和培训方案已将SSP培训确定为一项迫切需要。拟议的SBIR第二阶段项目通过开发一个称为紧急事件及时培训系统（JITTEIS）的无线课程提供系统来解决SSP培训不足的问题。被派往紧急事故现场的SSP在其手机上接收来自职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）#7600灾难现场工人课程的简短现场特定多媒体课程。这些课程描述了事故现场安全官员（SO）确定的CBRNE威胁和安全协议（包括PPE）。允许用户上传新内容以便立即广播，例如新发现的危险的图片或视频剪辑。JITTEIS建立在第一阶段工作的基础上，该阶段实现了（1）不同移动的设备、无线服务提供商、呼叫计划和事件管理系统之间的互操作性，（2）在移动的设备上呈现的课程的教学设计和制作程序，用户建模和系统人体工程学，（3）推送与拉取内容交付，以及（4）培训适应快速变化的威胁。拟议的工作将完成全面运作的综合技术信息系统的开发，根据需要制定一套可用的培训课程，并在两种环境中部署和评估该系统，这两种环境共同涵盖了CBRNE事件的许多要求：新泽西的一个大型建筑工地涉及危险废物材料和分散的劳动力，以及指挥中心和分布在新泽西最大的护理组织的车队。预计JITTEIS将成为紧急反应组织和其他组织的一项有价值的商业服务，这些组织拥有广泛分散的、移动的劳动力，他们需要安全和健康的及时培训和信息。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Skilled Service Personnel (SSP) support emergency response organizations during an emergency incident, and include laborers, operating engineers, carpenters, ironworkers, sanitation workers and utility workers. SSP called to an emergency incident rarely have recent detailed training on the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and/or explosives (CBRNE) agents they may encounter or the personal protection equipment (PPE) relevant to the incident. This increases personal risk to the SSP and mission risk at the incident site. Training for SSP has been identified as a critical need by the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, Worker Education and Training Program. The proposed SBIR Phase II project addresses this SSP training shortfall by developing a wireless lesson delivery system called the Just-In-Time Training for Emergency Incidents System (JITTEIS). SSP dispatched to an emergency incident receive brief site-specific multimedia lessons on their cell phones derived from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) #7600 Disaster Site Worker Course. The lessons describe the CBRNE threats and safety protocols (including PPE) identified by the Safety Officer (SO) at the incident site. Users are permitted to upload new content for immediate broadcast, such as pictures or video clips of newly discovered hazards. JITTEIS builds upon the Phase I effort, which achieved (1) interoperability among diverse mobile devices, wireless service providers, calling plans, and incident management systems, (2) instructional designs and production procedures for lessons rendered on mobile devices user modeling and system ergonomics, (3) pushed versus pulled content delivery, and (4) training adaptation to rapidly changing threats. The proposed effort will complete the development of a fully operational JITTEIS, develop a set of available training lessons based on needs, and deploy and evaluate the system in two settings that together encompass many of the requirements of CBRNE incidents: a large New Jersey construction sites involving hazardous waste material and a distributed work force, and the command center and distributed vehicle fleet of New Jersey's largest paramedic organization. It is anticipated that JITTEIS will become a valuable commercial service to emergency response organizations and other organizations with widely dispersed, mobile workforces who need safety and health just-in-time training and information.
