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

该项目的目标是为国家农业安全数据库<www.cdc.gov/nasd>提供持续的支持，该数据库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。通过NASD网站提供的材料包括概况介绍、课程、PowerPoint演示文稿、视频摘要和全长视频。数据库中收集的材料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。全国残疾人协会的方案编制和技术支助由一家私人承包商提供。定期审查数据库中的所有材料。在这份提案中，我们提出了一个计划，以扩大我们为观众提供的服务，包括互动式基于网络的教学。我们预计，NASD将使质量和全面的农业安全和健康信息和指导比以往任何时候都更广泛和更容易获得。在这项建议中，我们描述了一个计划，以扩大服务，NASD提供的创建一个系统，提供农业安全和健康课程在线。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，NASD被学术和工业环境中的安全培训师以及农场，土地和房主使用。

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.
