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

描述(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事件，造成19人死亡。美国劳动和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、安全和培训办公室随后进行的研究都得出结论，缺乏使用自给式自救装置(SCSR)的培训是导致死亡的主要因素。美国的每个矿工都被要求携带SCSR，并可以使用矿井内的其他单位。矿工们接受了非常粗略的一级培训，包括演示如何佩戴设备；但在培训过程中，使用设备的心理因素在很大程度上被忽视了，导致不正确地使用SCSR。这一名为“从达比和萨戈矿难中吸取的教训”的项目的目标是在第二阶段制作一个互动培训项目的第一阶段工作原型和一个后续的“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在DVD、电子学习和移动学习平台上提供，并符合针对听障人士的联邦508合规标准(这是这一群体的常见问题)。建议在第一阶段对这三种形式进行测试和评估，以确定所取得的学习成果和每个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，并将其部署到政府和商业组织。内容将包括向矿工提供的实践课堂体验的简短复习。然而，我们将集中讨论那些未被涵盖的内容领域，以及研究研究已确定的与爆炸相关矿工死亡有关的内容。我们称之为“预期培训”的内容领域将包括：矿工对创伤性事件的反应，包括因灾难性矿难事件使用SCSR而导致的身体、心理、情感和行为变化。 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混合学习和移动学习(移动)，目的是减少采矿社区与使用自给式自救装置(SCSR)相关的伤亡。

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.
