Western Mining Safety and Health Resource Center: Translating Training to Competency

 描述(由申请者提供)：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：美国矿工每年接受数百万小时的安全培训，但培训往往达不到应有的效果。公司越来越注重定义任务培训的能力，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、受伤和患病比率。我们有五个目标：1)我们建议将最好的煤矿安全培训员联网，以创建一个高绩效的技术咨询委员会，以协助编写培训材料，该培训材料使用主动学习，并以能力为基础，将安全学习从培训室转移到工作场所。2)我们将开办一家高绩效培训诊所来培训培训员 使用这些最佳实践，我们将在高绩效培训师成功通过实施计划后对其进行认证。3)我们将通过开发有效的成人学习工具来衡量将培训知识转移到实践中的有效性。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，纳入能力培训。我们的所有材料和培训实践将适用于英语学习者、低识字率学习者和教育弱势学习者(如诵读困难)。我们将特别注重满足中小型矿山的需求。我们的成果包括6项交付成果：1)我们将确定高绩效培训员的能力，并与国际矿山安全专业人员协会合作，为完成我们的培训并满足实施标准的培训员颁发证书。2)办好高绩效培训门诊，提高培训人员数量和质量。3)我们将为新矿工编写教师和学生手册，并进行年度进修培训，以实施积极学习的最佳做法，从而更好地将安全知识传授到工作场所。4)我们将创建新的基于危险图形和矿山检查的严肃游戏，以测试安全能力。5)我们修订了MISL，增加了能力模块。我们的影响将是：1)在美国西部，达到公认能力水平的高效培训人员的数量增加；2)能够更好地将培训知识转化为工作场所胜任实践的矿工数量增加；3)为中小型公司和教育弱势矿工提供更好的高质量培训；4)改善西部矿山的安全记录。

 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.
