描述（由申请人提供）：监督是实施新的工作场所计划的关键。大多数施工监理是由于技术知识而不是监理技能而晋升的，他们很少或根本没有接受过这些技能的教育或培训。这在拉丁美洲人从基层晋升的情况下尤其令人担忧，因为他们通常受教育程度非常有限。该项目承诺以英语和西班牙语为建筑监理提供可靠的监理互动技能培训。我们将教授经过验证的基本互动技能和这些技能的应用，以改变建筑工人的行为，这些技能的应用是未经测试的。此外，我们将提供一种技术，使主管能够记录或跟踪他们与员工的互动，以及他们加强适当行为（例如，健康的休息零食选择，安全的工作实践）和纠正不适当行为（例如，短暂的热身，不安全的行为）的程度。将要求主管加强其雇员选择的具体安全和健康的工作做法（健康保护）和更健康的生活方式行为，例如健康的饮食习惯（促进健康）。对于生活方式的改变，员工将被鼓励组建团队来学习新的信息，主管将鼓励健康的行为。将为员工提供实现目标的激励，并为主管参与项目提供激励。为了评估翻译从课堂培训到职场应用的有效性，采用随机抽样的方法

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Supervision is key to implementing new workplace programs. Most supervisors in construction are promoted due to technical knowledge, not supervisor skills, and they have little or no education or training in such skills. This is particuarly concerning in the case of up-from-the-ranks promotion of Latinos who typically have very limited education. This project promises to bring proven supervisor interaction skills training to construction supervisors in both English and Spanish. We will teach proven basic interaction skills and the application of those skills to change worker behavior in construction, where the application of those skills is untested. In addition, we will provide a technology that allows the supervisors to record or track their interactions with their employees and the degree to which they reinforce appropriate behaviors (e.g., healthy break snack choices, safe work practices) and correct inappropriate ones (e.g., short warm-ups, unsafe behaviors). Supervisors will be asked to reinforce specific safe and healthy work practices (health protection) and healthier lifestyle behaviors such as, healthy dietary practices (health promotion) of their choosing in thei employees. For lifestyle changes, workers will be encouraged to develop teams to learn new information and supervisors will encourage healthy behaviors. Incentives will be provided for employees to meet goals and for supervisors to participate in the project. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the translation from classroom training to workplace application, a randomized trial design will be employed.
