Prevention, Preparedness, and Response (P2R) Consortium: El Paso COVID-19 Recovery Training

项目摘要/摘要 埃尔帕索是得克萨斯州和墨西哥的边境城市，人口主要是西班牙裔(82%)(美国人口普查 该局，2020年)和造成不良健康结果的多种风险因素。与美国其他地区相比， 埃尔帕索县2019年冠状病毒数量出现不成比例的增长 (或新冠肺炎)自2020年10月以来的病例和死亡人数。预防、准备和应对 (P2R)联盟建议通过培训和接触当地居民来解决这一公共卫生问题 企业主和基本员工。 P2R联盟的长期目标是1。)让工人和社区做好保护的准备 他们自己，他们的同事，以及他们的环境，因为他们暴露在 工作场所；以及，2.)促进社区的健康、复原力和金融稳定 容易受到灾难的影响。为了实现这些目标，本拟议项目的总体目标是实现 针对埃尔帕索脆弱人群的可操作的、特定地点的新冠肺炎缓解战略培训 区域。为了实现这一目标，P2R联盟将与埃尔帕索拉美裔当地合作伙伴合作 商会、埃尔帕索水务和埃尔帕索大学医学中心，以确定资源和 培训需求和实现三个目标。在目标1中，项目组将扩展和提炼新冠肺炎风险 对DOL O*Net属性、OSHA新冠肺炎工人暴露风险类别和 其他特定于现场、特定于工作和特定于工人的特征，通过以下方式计算特定于现场的工人的风险概况 职务分类和任务。调查结果将与企业主讨论，以确保全面、 准确、协作的风险评估。在目标2中，P2R联盟将应用NIOSH层次结构 针对每个工地的风险概况制定控制框架，并创建可操作的个人SARS-CoV-2 英文和西班牙文的传播缓解计划。参与此活动的企业主将成为 制定计划。在目标3中，在目标2中制定的缓解计划之后，P2R联盟将 提供符合文化背景的高质量培训和资源(例如，面罩、手套、标牌、 消毒剂)，以减少SARS-CoV-2在工作场所的传播。项目团队将专注于 支持业主在工地有效实施缓解计划。P2R财团将 视情况将企业主和员工与其他资源联系起来。不断提高 本计划，P2R联盟将评估企业主对缓解计划的反应，并 对员工进行知识评估。 该项目的一个优势是其独特的方法来增加对新冠肺炎的传播 埃尔帕索地区的缓解措施--重点是脆弱社区。此外，它还 将建立一种新的模式，为其他工作场所危险创造高影响力的个性化培训。

Project Summary/Abstract El Paso is a Texas-Mexico border city with a predominantly Hispanic (82%) population (US Census Bureau, 2020) and multiple risk factors for poor health outcomes. In comparison with other areas of the country, El Paso County has experienced a disproportionate increase in the number of Coronavirus 2019 (or COVID-19) cases and fatalities since October 2020. The Prevention, Preparedness, and Response (P2R) Consortium proposes to address this public health concern through training and outreach to local business owners and essential workers. The long-term goals of the P2R Consortium are 1.) to prepare workers and communities to protect themselves, their colleagues, and their environment from exposures to hazardous materials in the workplace; and, 2.) to promote the health, resiliency, and financial stability of communities that are most vulnerable to disasters. In pursuit of these goals, the overall objective of this proposed project is to deliver actionable, site-specific training in COVID-19 mitigation strategies to vulnerable populations in the El Paso area. To achieve this objective, the P2R Consortium will work with local partners at the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, El Paso Water, and University Medical Center of El Paso to identify resource and training needs and to fulfill three aims. In Aim 1, the project team will expand and refine a COVID-19 risk profile tool that layers DOL O*NET attributes, OSHA COVID-19 Worker Exposure Risk categories, and other site-, job-, and worker-specific characteristics to calculate a site-specific risk profile for workers by job classification and task. Findings will be discussed with business owners to ensure a comprehensive, accurate, and collaborative risk assessment. In Aim 2, the P2R Consortium will apply the NIOSH hierarchy of controls framework to each worksite’s risk profile and create an individual and actionable SARS-CoV-2 transmission mitigation plan in English and Spanish. Business owners in this activity will be full partners in developing the plan. In Aim 3, following the mitigation plan developed in Aim 2, the P2R Consortium will deliver high quality, culturally appropriate training and resources (e.g., facial coverings, gloves, signage, disinfectants) to mitigate the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the workplace. The project team will focus on supporting owners to effectively implement the mitigation plan at the worksite. The P2R Consortium will connect business owners and workers to additional resources as appropriate. To continuously improve this program, the P2R Consortium will assess business owners’ reactions to the mitigation plans and administer knowledge assessments to workers. A strength of this project is its unique approach to increase the uptake of COVID-19 transmission mitigation measures – with an emphasis on vulnerable communities – in the El Paso area. Additionally, it will establish a new model for creating high impact, individualized training for other workplace hazards.
