The federal Project Grant award R43ES037510 was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Hazardous Waste Worker Health and Safety Training program (CFDA 93.142). This $100,000 grant, awarded on June 4, 2025, supports the development of an AI-driven "Health and Safety Training Copilot" platform to provide personalized pre-training materials for low-literacy and limited-English proficiency workers. The platform aims to enhance comprehension and retention of critical workplace safety protocols and regulations, targeting the approximately 32 million U.S. workers exposed to hazardous materials. The project involves curating trusted safety resources, developing an adaptive learning engine for content generation, and validating the system with stakeholder feedback to meet the diverse training needs of this worker population. The goal is to foster a safer work environment through accessible, multilingual training materials leveraging advanced AI technologies.
