continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed
information collection project titled Field Pilot to Inform the
Development of a NIOSH Training Product, the Safety Skills at Work
Curriculum. The purpose of this field pilot is to inform the
development of a draft foundational OSH training intervention, the
Safety Skills at Work curriculum, as well as the study methods and data
collection instruments for the evaluation of the intervention.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before October 19, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Field Pilot to Inform the Development of a NIOSH Training Product,
the Safety Skills at Work Curriculum--New--National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Prevention
and Control (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
is requesting approval of a new draft data collection for a period of
two years under the project titled Field Pilot to Inform the
Development of a NIOSH Training Product, the Safety Skills at Work
Curriculum. The goal of the proposed field pilot is to inform the
development of a draft foundational occupational safety and health
(OSH) training intervention, the Safety Skills at Work curriculum, as
well as the development of the methods and data collection instruments
for the evaluation of the intervention. The proposed field pilot will
be conducted through a collaborative partnership with the Pacific
Mountain Workforce Development Council (PacMtn WDC), a workforce
development organization in Washington State. PacMtn WDC will recruit
72 participants split into 4-6 cohorts with 12-18 participants per
cohort. For each cohort, the draft curriculum will be administered to
6-9 participants (training group) and an online survey will be
administered to the training group as well as a group of 6-9
participants who do not receive the training (comparison group) at
three
[[Page 46852]]
time points: Pre (before the training), post (after the training), and
follow-up (4-6 weeks after the training). The survey will assess; (1)
foundational OSH knowledge; (2) OSH attitudes; (3) self-efficacy for
OSH; (4) behavioral intention to use newly learned OSH skills; (5) OSH
training perceptions; and (6) job safety perceptions. Basic
demographics and work experience information will also be collected
from field pilot participants, but no sensitive or personally
identifiable information (PII) will be collected by NIOSH. Participants
in the training group will be asked to provide reactions to the
training during brief post-training feedback sessions, and this data
will be audio recorded. This field pilot will follow the CDC COVID-19
interim guidance for research activities, including in-person
activities, in place at the time of the activity. This data collection
will serve as a first step in addressing the need for evidence-based,
foundational OSH training programs for the workforce development
sector, and is aligned with the National Occupational Research Agenda
(NORA) Healthy Work Design and Well-Being, Services, and Manufacturing
goals related to promoting OSH among contingent workers.
As part of the proposed field pilot, NIOSH will administer three
online surveys (pre, post, and follow-up) to 72 workforce development
program participants, and the two trained PacMtn WDC will conduct post-
training feedback sessions with the 36 training group participants
after each training session. Each survey will take approximately 30
minutes to complete, for a total of 90 minutes per participant to
complete all three surveys. The training will take three hours and 20
minutes to administer, and the post training feedback session will take
10 minutes to complete.
CDC requests approval for an estimated 43 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
