Mobile Training of Skilled Support Personnel

描述(由申请人提供) 技能服务人员(SSP)在涉及大规模杀伤性武器的紧急事件中为应急响应组织提供支持，包括劳工、操作工程师、木工、铁工、环卫工人和公用事业工人。被召唤到紧急事件的SSP最近很少接受有关化学、生物、辐射、核和/或爆炸物(CBRNE)制剂或个人防护装备(PPE)的详细培训。这增加了对SSP的个人风险和事故现场的任务风险。SSP培训已被国家环境健康科学研究所、工人教育和培训计划确定为一项迫切需求，并与其防止与工作相关的危害暴露在危险材料中的使命保持一致。拟议的STTR项目通过利用远程学习和蜂窝电话技术的进步使称为即时培训(JITT)的新培训模式来解决这一SSP培训不足的问题。BanDeMar Networks和新泽西医学与牙科大学公共卫生学院(SPH)提议为接到紧急事件召唤的SSP开发一个JITT系统，该系统将提供安全访问信息，并在他们的手机上提供有关所涉及的危险制剂(S)、所需个人防护装备和危险制剂(S)的一般去污程序的手机上的短(5分钟)事故特定学习模块。学习模块将设计用于手机用户界面，并包括音频、视频、交互模拟、图形、动画和评估。第一阶段将调查JITT系统的可行性，该系统可在所有无线服务提供商的大多数当前手机上运行，并与事件管理系统集成。第一阶段还将调查这种空中点播信息和学习模块的教学设计。将在第一阶段开发典型的学习模块和无线功能，以支持参与应急行动和/或参加UMDNJ-SPH危险材料课程的60人的实地测试。将进行书面调查和面谈，以评价拟议的JITT系统信息录入人体工学、认证和培训人体工学以及空中串流内容的质量。JITT系统将有助于降低正在对紧急事件作出反应的SSP的潜在受伤和患病风险。JITT系统还具有巨大的潜力，可以为JITT提供公共卫生方面的其他培训需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Skilled Service Personnel (SSP) support emergency response organizations during an emergency incident involving weapons of mass destruction and include laborers, operating engineers, carpenters, ironworkers, sanitation workers and utility workers. SSP called to an emergency incident rarely have recent detailed training on the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and/or explosives (CBRNE) agents or the personal protective equipment (PPE) relevant to the incident. This increases personal risk to the SSP and mission risk at the incident site. Training for SSP has been identified as a critical need by the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, Worker Education and Training Program and is consistent with its mission to prevent work related harm from exposure to hazardous materials. The proposed STTR project addresses this SSP training shortfall by exploiting a new training paradigm called just-in-time training (JITT) made possible by advances in distance learning and cellular telephony. BanDeMar Networks and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) - School of Public Health (SPH) propose to develop a JITT system for SSP who are called to an emergency incident that will provide secure access to information and short (<5 minutes) incident-specific learning modules on their cell phones about the hazardous agent(s) involved, the PPE needed and general decontamination procedures for the hazardous agent(s). Learning modules will be designed for cell phone user interfaces and incorporate audio, video, interactive simulations, graphics, animation and assessment. Phase I will investigate the feasibility of a JITT system that operates with most current cell phones over all wireless service providers and that integrates with the incident management system. Phase I will also investigate the instructional design of such over-the-air on-demand information and learning modules. Prototypical learning modules and wireless functionality will be developed in Phase I to support field tests with 60 individuals involved in emergency response operations and/or attending hazardous materials courses at the UMDNJ-SPH. Written surveys and personal interviews will be done to evaluate the proposed JITT system information entry ergonomics, authentication and training ergonomics and quality of the over-the-air streaming content. The JITT system will help reduce the potential risk of injury and illness for SSP who are responding to emergency incidents. The JITT system also has great potential for providing JITT for other training needs in public health.
