Mitigating Maritime Chemical Incidents Through Mobile Learning

描述：项目摘要/摘要元媒体将使用苹果的iPad提供高质量的、与工作相关的案例研究，使航运业的实习生能够与实践应用程序互动。这些案例研究将涵盖海事工人所需的最关键的信息和知识，包括码头工人、装卸工、劳工、码头工人、码头和船舶主管以及与海事行业相关的执法人员。这些场景将基于2008年发生在大沼泽港和2011年6月发生在洛杉矶终点岛的实际事件。大沼泽港的场景将重演这一事件，当时三名男子因放置在货舱(即船上用于储存货物的空间)的加压集装箱发生不明气体泄漏而悲惨死亡。这些死亡本来是可以避免的。通过使用3D动画和高清视频重现这一场景，我们将能够覆盖码头工人的关键信息，以识别在危险材料内和周围工作的潜在危险，了解空气质量和任何观察到的泄漏，并了解实施紧急响应决策的协议。高度现实的方案将涵盖码头工人执行与化学品泄漏相关的无事故风险响应所需的最关键的信息和知识，包括影响决策过程的化学和物理特性，特别强调有限空间和/或氧气耗尽的环境。一种类似于Metamedia以前在SBIR赠款下开发的成功和可比的模拟的交互设计将使参与者能够通过小组与其他受训人员(和“设备”)进行“模拟的现场”实地演习。第二个场景将遵循相同的互动形式，并将重播最近发生的一起危险化学事件，该事件导致一名码头工人住院，他在洛杉矶港的货场接触了一种未知的化学物质。值得庆幸的是，在最近的这起事件中没有发生死亡事件，但根据必要的协议，包括消防部门、警察部门和美国海岸警卫队在内的5个机构赶到了现场。我们的首要目标是通过为经常在构成健康和安全风险的环境中工作的海上工人提供参与式和互动式的安全培训来减少伤亡。

DESCRIPTION: Project Summary/Abstract MetaMedia will use Apple's iPad to deliver high quality, job-related case studies that will enable trainees in the Maritime Industry to interact wih a hands-on application. These Case Studies will cover the most critical information and knowledge required for a maritime workers including; dock workers, stevedores, laborers, longshoremen, dock and ship supervisors, and law enforcement personnel associated with the maritime industry. The scenarios will be based on actual incidents that occurred at Port Everglades in 2008 and Terminal Island, Los Angeles in June of 2011. The Port Everglades scenario will replay the event when three men were tragically killed as the result of an unknown Argon gas leak from a pressurized container placed in a cargo hold (i.e. space in a ship for storing cargo). These deaths could have been prevented. By recreating this scenario using 3-D animations and high definition video, we will be able to cover critical information for dock workers to recognize the potential hazards in working in and around hazardous materials, be cognizant of air quality and any observed leakage, and be knowledgeable of protocols for implementing emergency response decisions. The highly realistic scenario will cover the most critical information and knowledge required for dock workers to perform an incident risk-free response related to a chemical leak, including the chemical and physical properties that influence the decision-making process, with a particular emphasis on confined spaces and/or oxygen- depleted environments. An interactive design similar to previous successful and comparable simulations developed by MetaMedia under SBIR grants will enable participants to engage with fellow trainees (and the "device") in a "simulated live" field drill via small groups. The second scenario will follow the same interactive format and will replay a recent hazardous chemical event that resulted in the hospitalization of a longshoreman who was exposed to an unknown chemical substance on the freight yard in the Port of Los Angeles. Thankfully, no deaths occurred in this recent instance, but the necessary protocols brought 5 agencies to the scene including fire departments, police departments, and the U.S. Coast Guard. Our overarching goal is to reduce injuries and death by providing engaging and interactive safety training for maritime workers who work in environments that pose health and safety risks on a regular basis.
