Western Mining Safety & Health Training Resource Center: An Integrated Approach

目标：改善美国西部的采矿安全和健康培训，以支持 减少采矿伤害、疾病和死亡。背景：尽管随着时间的推移不断改善， 采矿业继续发生工伤和死亡事故，职业病减少 仍然具有挑战性。在我们过去的NIOSH矿工培训（U60）赠款的基础上，我们将使用一种能力- 为矿工、培训人员和管理人员提供健康和安全培训。具体目标：1） 为煤矿工人提供主动学习型安全健康培训; 2）提供创新的培训师培训 3）建立关键控制管理的合作伙伴关系。研究设计：我们将 采用基于能力的五个层次的框架。1级将为新矿工提供所需的知识 作为新矿工培训和短期班前培训的一部分。2级将为更有经验的人提供知识 矿工在年度进修培训期间。第三级是新安全培训员的“蓝卡”培训。4级是为了 需要了解如何改进培训和设计培训材料的经验丰富的培训师。5级是 为安全经理和行政人员，以提高他们的知识，过程安全，评估材料 不必要的事件和关键控制。对于矿工，我们将为英语学习者提供住宿， 识字率低和受教育程度低的学生处于不利地位。我们将使用一套严肃的游戏，与哈利一起学习， 鼓励对安全进行批判性思考，重点是工人健康、危险识别和MSHA 生活准则严肃的游戏软件有强大的评估工具，可以随着时间的推移测试改进。 对于培训师，我们将开发并提供安全和技术培训师证书的教学设计 使用我们通过劳工部发布的能力模型进行计划。为管理人员和 我们将创建一个研讨会，以了解关键控制和开发网络机制 通过我们的网站和社交媒体，让公司和行业分享经验教训 行业包括承包商、供应商、制造商和运营公司。我们将与岩石合作 加州、亚利桑那州、得克萨斯州、内华达州和科罗拉多等主要州的产品协会， 为会员企业提供培训。所有NIOSH诺拉跨部门主题领域都将得到解决 通过在新矿工中增加保健单元、复习培训和培训员培训单元，以及通过 将这些主题纳入关键控制管理活动。通过将我们的培训整合到一个 我们将通过单一的能力框架，为评价和影响提供一个协调一致的结构。相关性 公共卫生：预期成果包括改善安全和健康做法，一个公布的能力 通过积极学习增强工人的权能，使他们成为 改善工作场所的安全和健康，并加强跨行业部门的经验教训共享。 总体而言，这些成果应减少采矿伤害、疾病和死亡。

Objective: To improve mining safety and health training in the western United States to support efforts to reduce mining injuries, illnesses and fatalities. Background: Despite continued improvements over time, mining injuries and fatalities continue to occur in the mining industry, and reducing occupational illnesses remains challenging. Building on our past NIOSH miner training (U60) grants, we will use a competency- based framework to integrate health and safety training for miners, trainers, and managers. Specific Aims: 1) Offer active learning-based safety and health training to mine workers; 2) Offer innovative train-the-trainer programs; and 3) Establish collaborative partnerships for critical control management. Study Design: we will use a competency-based framework with five levels. Level 1 will provide knowledge needed for new miners as part of new miner training and short pre-shift training. Level 2 will provide knowledge for more experienced miners during annual refresher training. Level 3 is “blue card” training for new safety trainers. Level 4 is for experienced trainers who need to know how to improve their training and design training materials. Level 5 is for safety managers and executives to improve their knowledge of process safety, assessing material unwanted events and critical controls. For mine workers, we will accommodate English language learners, low literacy and education disadvantaged learners. We will use a suite of serious games, Learn with Harry, to encourage critical thinking about safety, with emphasis on worker health, hazards recognition, and MSHA's rules to live by. The serious games software has robust evaluation tools and can test improvement over time. For trainers we will develop and offer Instructional Design for the Safety and Technical Trainer Certificate Program using the competency model we are publishing through the Department of Labor. For managers and executives we will create a workshop to learn about critical controls and develop networking mechanism through our website and social media that allows lessons learned to be shared across companies and industry sectors including contractors, vendors, manufacturers, and operating companies. We will partner with rock products associations in the key states of California, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, and Colorado to offer our training programs to their member companies. All NIOSH NORA cross-sector topic areas will be addressed through addition of health modules in new miner, refresher training and train the trainer modules, and through inclusion of these topics within the critical control management activities. By integrating our training under a single competency framework, we will provide a coherent structure for evaluation and for impact. Relevance to public health: Anticipated outcomes include improved safety and health practices, a published competency model for mine safety trainers, workers empowered through active learning to be active participants in improving workplace safety and health, and increased sharing of lessons learned across industry segments. Collectively the outcomes should result in fewer mining injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
