Worker Training Program (WTP) Ebola Biosafety and Infectious Disease Response Training

摘要 该计划的主要目标是培训和教育美国境内的目标工人， 传染病的传染性、潜伏期和临床结果各不相同， 职业环境以及可以采取哪些措施保护工人免受潜在的接触。安全 和健康培训将为工人提供保护自己和他们的技能和知识， 社区免受可能接触污染材料或受感染的个人， 遇到的。 目标受众是有接触严重传染性病原体风险的工人， 他们在应急响应人员、一线医疗保健人员和公众中的职业暴露后果 卫生工作场所。该计划旨在补充现有的教育和培训计划， 有暴露风险的工人，但目前无法获得帮助他们建立 基本的风险评估技能，并了解可以采取的措施，以保护自己免受 潜在的接触以及传染病如何在职业环境中传播。 埃默里大学是严重传染病管理的公认领导者， 在执行政策和程序以及教育方面表现出熟练和有效性 和培训，以确保安全的工作环境。埃默里工人培训计划的具体目标 是： ·制定和实施职业安全和感染控制培训计划， 与现有的区域和国家计划，具有国家和国际证明的主题 与埃博拉和其他严重传染性病原体打交道的专业知识和经验 ·传播环境感染控制和危害识别教育和培训， 在应急响应人员、一线医疗保健人员和公众中可能有暴露风险的工作人员 卫生工作场所 ·建立一个与区域和国家伙伴合作的持久平台，目的是 为工人制定并有针对性地提供安全和健康培训，这些培训可以通过以下方式积极提供： 一个常设方案的方式，以及同时通过“及时”培训的方式

ABSTRACT The major objective of this program is to train and educate targeted workers within the US in understanding how infectious diseases with varying transmissibility, incubation periods and clinical outcome are spread in an occupational environment and what measures can be taken to shield workers from potential exposure. Safety and health training will provide workers with the skills and knowledge to protect themselves and their communities from potential exposure to contaminated material or infected individuals who may be encountered. The target audience are workers who are at risk for contact with serious communicable pathogens as a consequence of their occupational exposure in the emergency responder, frontline healthcare and public health workplaces. This program aims to complement existing education and training programs and target workers who are at risk for exposure, but currently without access to programs that help them to establish the basic risk assessment skill sets, and understand measures that can be taken to shield themselves from potential exposure and how infectious diseases are spread in an occupational environment. Emory University is an established leader in serious communicable disease management and has demonstrated proficiency and effectiveness in the implementation of policies and procedures, and education and training, necessary for a safe work environment. The specific aims of the Emory Worker Training Program are to: · Develop and implement an occupational safety and infection control training program which interfaces with existing regional and national programs that have nationally and internationally proven subject matter expertise and experience working with Ebola and other serious communicable pathogens · Disseminate environmental infection control and hazard recognition education and training aimed at workers who may be at risk for exposure in the emergency responder, frontline healthcare and public health workplaces · Establish an enduring platform for collaboration with regional and national partners with the aim of developing and targeting safety and health training for workers that can be delivered both proactively by way of a standing program as well as contemporaneously by way of “just-in-time” training
