Lessons Learned: Sago & Darby Disasters - The Missing Component in SCSR Training

说明（申请人提供）：自2006年以来，美国发生了三起重大灾难性地雷爆炸，造成19人死亡。随后由美国劳工部-矿山安全与健康管理局（MSHA）、国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）、职业安全与健康（OSHA）、疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）、宾夕法尼亚州立大学矿工培训计划和西弗吉尼亚州矿工健康、安全和健康办公室进行的研究，和培训都得出结论，缺乏使用自给式自救器（SCSR）的培训是导致死亡的主要因素。美国的每一名矿工都必须携带一个SCSR，并有权使用矿井内的其他设备。矿工们接受了非常粗略的1级培训，包括如何穿上该装置的演示;但在培训期间，使用该装置的心理因素在很大程度上被忽视，导致SCSR的错误使用。 “从达比和萨戈矿难中吸取的教训”项目的目标是制作一个互动培训项目的第一阶段工作原型，并在第二阶段制作一个后续“严肃游戏”，以评估矿工在发生灾难性矿难时正确使用SCSR供氧设备的能力。该计划将以英语和西班牙语的DVD、电子学习和移动学习平台提供，并符合针对听力受损者的联邦508合规标准（这是该工人群体的常见问题）。建议在第一阶段对这三种形式进行测试和评价，以确定取得的学习成果和每种交付系统的接受程度。PI/PD和我们的团队成功地开发和部署了所有三种形式的硬技能和软技能健康和安全培训，以政府和商业组织。课程内容将包括对矿工课堂实践经验的简短回顾。然而，我们将集中注意那些没有被涵盖的内容领域，并在研究中确定这些内容导致了参与爆炸的矿工的死亡。我们称之为“期望培训”的内容领域将包括：矿工对创伤性事件的反应，包括由于灾难性地雷事件而使用SCSR导致的身体、精神、情绪和行为变化。 公共卫生相关性：该计划的目标是设计一个概念验证，培训计划使用先进的多媒体培训技术，包括电子学习，DVD混合学习和mLearning（移动的），目的是减少采矿社区与使用自给式自救器（SCSR）装置相关的伤害和死亡。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since 2006 there have been three major catastrophic mine explosions in the United States resulting in nineteen fatalities. Subsequent research studies conducted by the United States Department of Labor - Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The Pennsylvania State University Miner Training Program, and the West Virginia Office of Miner's Health, Safety, and Training all have concluded that a lack of training on the use of the Self-Contained Self-Rescuer (SCSR) units was a major factor that contributed to the fatalities. Every miner worker in the U.S. is required to carry an SCSR and have access to additional units within the mine. Miners are given very cursory Level 1 training, consisting of a demonstration of how to don the unit; but the psychological factors of using the device are largely ignored during training, leading to incorrect use of the SCSR. The goal of this program "Lessons Learned from the Darby and Sago Mine Disasters," will be to produce a Phase I working prototype of an interactive training program and a follow-on "serious game" in Phase II to assess the ability of miners to correctly use the SCSR oxygen supply device in the event of a catastrophic mine disaster. The program will be designed to be delivered on DVD, eLearning, and mLearning platforms in English and Spanish and meet federal 508 compliance standards for the hearing impaired (a common problem for this worker population). The three formats are proposed to be tested and evaluated in Phase I to determine the learning achieved and the acceptance level of each delivery system. The PI/PD and our team have successfully developed and deployed hard skills and soft skills health and safety training in all three formats to government and commercial organizations. The content will include a brief refresher on the hands-on classroom experience offered to miners. However, we will concentrate on those areas of content that are not being covered and have been determined in research studies to have contributed to the death of the miners involved in the explosions. Those content areas which we refer to as "expectations training" will include: responses by miners to a traumatic incident including physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral changes resulting from use the SCSR due to a catastrophic mine event. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of this program is to design a proof of concept, training program using advanced multimedia training technologies, including eLearning, DVD blended learning, and mLearning (mobile), with the intention of reducing injuries and fatalities in the mining community that are related to the use of the Self- Contained Self Rescuer (SCSR) unit.
