简介：本文讨论了应用培训干预，使用退化的图像，以提高矿工的危险识别技能。方法：NIOSH的研究人员在广泛的文献综述中，确定了感知的基本心理学原则，这些原则可用于提高矿工在危险工作环境中识别和应对危险的能力。进行了三项研究以评估退化图像训练干预的有效性。一个危险识别模型的开发，以指导研究。结果如下：在第一项研究中，来自宾夕法尼亚州、西弗吉尼亚州和亚拉巴马州的矿工，在降级图像的帮助下接受培训，在后续危险识别性能指标上的得分明显高于使用传统教学方法培训的矿工。第二项和第三项研究调查了两家矿业公司培训干预的有效性。在3年期间收集的数据显示，在亚拉巴马和伊利诺伊州的矿山损失时间受伤后不久，培训干预措施开始下降。对行业的影响：进一步探索危害识别模型和基于该模型的其他干预措施的发展可以支持危害识别模型中步骤的有效性。(C)2003年国家安全理事会和爱思唯尔科学有限公司保留所有权利。
Introduction: This paper discusses the application of a training intervention that uses degraded images for improving the hazard recognition skills of miners. Method: NIOSH researchers, in an extensive literature review, identified fundamental psychological principles on perception that may be employed to enhance the ability of miners to recognize and respond to hazards in their dangerous work environment. Three studies were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the degraded image training intervention. A model of hazard recognition was developed to guide the study. Results: In the first study, miners from Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Alabama, who were taught with the aid of degraded images, scored significantly better on follow-up hazard recognition performance measures than those trained using traditional instructional methodologies. The second and third studies investigated the effectiveness of the training intervention at two mining companies. Data collected over a 3-year period showed that lost-time injuries at mines in Alabama and Illinois declined soon after the training intervention was instituted. Impact on Industry: Further exploration of the hazard recognition model and the development of other interventions based on the model could support the validity of the steps in the hazard recognition model.
