Expansion and Maintenance of the Natural Agricultural Safety Database (NASD)

描述(由申请人提供)：该项目的目标是为国家农业安全数据库www.cdc.gov/nasd&gt；提供持续支持，这是一个基于网络的教育和信息材料集合，每年有100多万人使用。可通过NASD网站获得的材料包括情况说明书、课程、PowerPoint演示文稿、视频摘要和完整视频。数据库中收集的材料由一个由来自美国和加拿大的安全专家组成的编辑委员会审查和批准。NASD的编程和技术支持由一家私人承包商提供。数据库中的所有材料都会定期进行审查。在这份提案中，我们提出了一项计划，以扩大我们为受众提供的服务，包括基于网络的互动教学。我们预计，NASD将比以往任何时候都更广泛和更容易地提供高质量和全面的农业安全和健康信息和指导。在这份提案中，我们描述了一项计划，通过创建一个在线提供农业安全和健康课程的系统来扩展NASD提供的服务。国家农业安全数据库每年为100多万人提供有关农业安全和健康主题的信息。用户调查显示，学术和工业环境中的安全培训人员以及农场、土地和房屋所有者使用NASD。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the project is to provide continuing support for the National Agricultural Safety Database <www.cdc.gov/nasd>, a Web-based collection of educational and informational materials used by over one million people each year. Materials available through the NASD Web site include fact sheets, curricula, PowerPoint presentations, video abstracts, and full length videos. Materials collected in the database are reviewed and approved by an editorial board composed of safety specialists from the United States and Canada. Programming and technical support for NASD is provided by a private contractor. All materials in the database are periodically reviewed. In this proposal, we present a plan to expand the service we offer our audiences to include interactive Web-based instruction. We anticipate that NASD will make quality and comprehensive agricultural safety and health information and instruction more widely and readily available than ever before. In this proposal, we describe a plan to extend the service that NASD offers by creating a system for the delivery of agricultural safety and health courses on-line. The National Agricultural Safety Database serves more than one million people each year with information about agricultural safety and health topics. User surveys show that NASD is used by safety trainers in academic and industrial settings, and by farm-, land-, and homeowners.
