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，以支持努力 减少矿工伤害、疾病和死亡。背景：尽管随着时间的推移不断改进， 采矿行业继续发生矿难和死亡事件，职业病有所减少 仍然具有挑战性。在过去NIOSH矿工培训(U60)赠款的基础上，我们将使用一种能力- 以框架为基础，整合对矿工、培训员和管理人员的健康和安全培训。具体目标：1) 为矿工提供主动学习的安全健康培训；2)提供创新的培训员培训 计划；以及3)为关键控制管理建立协作伙伴关系。研究设计：我们将 使用基于能力的五个级别的框架。一级将提供新矿工所需的知识 作为新矿工培训和短期班前培训的一部分。第二级将为更有经验的人提供知识 矿工参加年度进修培训。3级是针对新安全培训师的“蓝卡”培训。4级用于 经验丰富的培训师需要知道如何改进他们的培训和设计培训材料。5级是 为安全经理和管理人员提高他们对过程安全的知识，评估材料 不想要的事件和关键控制。对于矿工来说，我们将容纳英语学习者， 低识字率和低教育使学习者处于不利地位。我们将使用一套严肃的游戏，向哈里学习， 鼓励对安全的批判性思考，重点是工人健康、危险识别和MSHA 生活的规则。Serious游戏软件拥有强大的评估工具，可以测试随时间推移的改进情况。 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 计划使用我们通过劳工部发布的能力模型。对于经理和 高管们，我们将创建一个研讨会，以了解关键控制并开发网络机制 通过我们的网站和社交媒体，可以在公司和行业之间分享经验教训 行业包括承包商、供应商、制造商和运营公司。我们将与摇滚合作 加利福尼亚州、亚利桑那州、得克萨斯州、内华达州和科罗拉多州等主要州的产品协会提供我们的 为其成员公司提供培训计划。将讨论所有NIOSH Nora跨部门主题领域 通过在新矿工中增加健康模块、更新培训和培训培训员模块，并通过 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 在单一能力框架下，我们将为评价和影响提供一个连贯的结构。相关性 对公共健康：预期结果包括改进安全和健康做法，公布能力 煤矿安全培训员的典范，工人通过积极学习被赋予积极参与的能力 改善工作场所安全和健康，并增加各行业经验教训的分享。 总体而言，这些结果应该会减少矿难、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.
