描述(由申请者提供)：监督是实施新工作场所计划的关键。大多数建筑监工的晋升是因为技术知识，而不是监工技能，他们很少或根本没有接受过这种技能的教育或培训。这在拉丁裔晋升的情况下尤其令人担忧，他们通常只受过非常有限的教育。该项目承诺以英语和西班牙语向施工监理员提供经过验证的监理人互动技能培训。我们将教授经过验证的基本互动技能，以及如何应用这些技能来改变建筑施工中的工人行为，这些技能的应用尚未经过测试。此外，我们将提供一种技术，允许主管记录或跟踪他们与员工的互动以及他们在多大程度上加强了适当的行为(例如，健康的休息零食选择、安全的工作实践)和纠正不适当的行为(例如，短暂的热身、不安全的行为)。主管将被要求加强特定的安全和健康的工作实践(健康保护)和更健康的生活方式行为，如他们选择的健康饮食实践(健康促进)。对于生活方式的改变，将鼓励员工建立学习新信息的团队，主管将鼓励健康行为。将为员工实现目标和主管参与该项目提供激励。为了评估从课堂培训到工作场所应用的转换的有效性，随机进行了一项 将采用试验性设计。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Supervision is key to implementing new workplace programs. Most supervisors in construction are promoted due to technical knowledge, not supervisor skills, and they have little or no education or training in such skills. This is particuarly concerning in the case of up-from-the-ranks promotion of Latinos who typically have very limited education. This project promises to bring proven supervisor interaction skills training to construction supervisors in both English and Spanish. We will teach proven basic interaction skills and the application of those skills to change worker behavior in construction, where the application of those skills is untested. In addition, we will provide a technology that allows the supervisors to record or track their interactions with their employees and the degree to which they reinforce appropriate behaviors (e.g., healthy break snack choices, safe work practices) and correct inappropriate ones (e.g., short warm-ups, unsafe behaviors). Supervisors will be asked to reinforce specific safe and healthy work practices (health protection) and healthier lifestyle behaviors such as, healthy dietary practices (health promotion) of their choosing in thei employees. For lifestyle changes, workers will be encouraged to develop teams to learn new information and supervisors will encourage healthy behaviors. Incentives will be provided for employees to meet goals and for supervisors to participate in the project. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the translation from classroom training to workplace application, a randomized trial design will be employed.
