Hazardous Materials Worker Health and Safety Training (U45) Cooperative Agreement

 描述(由申请人提供)：新泽西州/纽约州危险材料工人培训中心具有悠久的有效培训历史，符合OSHA 29CFR1910.120的要求，自1987年以来为超过450,000名工人提供危险材料知识和技能。我们的中心将培训工人在清理危险废物场地时的安全问题，与危险材料的产生、处理和储存有关的问题，以及紧急反应。这些课程培养工人对危险情况进行批判性分析的能力，并使他们能够识别安全工作实践。成人教育的主要校长被纳入我们的培训，培训课程被开发为包括同行学习、动手活动和发展批判性思维技能。该中心有一个健全的评估计划，并将继续扩大收集的关于培训对工作场所做法的影响的数据类型，以及培训如何更有效地影响工作场所安全文化。该中心正在为HWWT、ECWT和HDPT项目申请资金。HWWT计划的重点是为清理危险废物场地、参与危险材料的产生、处理和储存以及应对运输和其他紧急情况的工人提供全面培训。在未来五年内，该中心建议在污水处理厂培训51,890名工人，提供2,315个课程。ECWTP将利用有针对性的战略，招募、培训和雇用居住在弱势社区的服务不足的居民进行建设和环境补救工作。该中心在少数族裔和服务不足的社区建立了长期、有效的伙伴关系，帮助加强职业健康和工人教育，并缓解社区一级的健康差距。我们的中心包括环境正义、健康和安全以及生活技能方面的培训，为学员在环境行业的职业生涯做好准备。在接下来的五年里，该中心建议在ECWTP培训300名工人，提供75个课程。HDPT计划通过向应对灾难的工人提供培训，提高了当前危险材料工人和化学反应人员的安全和健康。这些课程的重点是预防和备灾，以便救灾人员在开始救灾之前了解安全和健康危害以及减轻灾害的技术。在接下来的五年里，该中心计划培训14,191名工人，开设740门HDPTP课程。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NJ/NY Hazardous Materials Worker Training Center has a long history of effective training that meets the requirements of OSHA 29CFR1910.120, providing hazardous materials knowledge and skills to over 450,000 workers since 1987. Our Center will train workers about safety issues during clean-up hazardous waste sites, issues related to generation, treatment and storage of hazardous materials, and emergency response. The courses develop competency in workers to critically analyze dangerous situations, and enable them to identify safe work practices. Key principals of adult education are incorporated into our training, and training courses are developed to include peer-learning, hands-on activities, and development critical thinking skills. The Center has a robust evaluation plan, and will continue to expand the types of date collected on impact of training on workplace practice, as well as how training can more effectively influence workplace safety culture. The Center is applying for funding for the HWWT, ECWT, and HDPT programs. The focus of the HWWT program is to provide comprehensive training for workers who clean-up hazardous waste sites, are involved in the generation, treatment and storage of hazardous materials, and respond to transportation and other emergencies. Over the next five years, the Center proposes to train 51,890 workers in 2,315 courses in the HWWTP. The ECWTP will utilize focused strategies to recruit, train and employ underserved residents living in disadvantaged communities for construction and environmental remediation work. The Center has long-term, effective partnerships in minority and underserved communities that help reinforce occupational health and worker education, and mitigate health disparities at the community level. Our Center includes training in environmental justice, health and safety, and life skills, preparing trainees for a career in the environmental industry. Over the next five year, the Center proposes to train 300 workers in 75 courses in the ECWTP. The HDPT program enhances the safety and health of current hazardous materials workers and chemical responders by delivering training to workers responding to disaster. These courses focus on prevention and preparedness so that disaster response personnel are aware of safety and health hazards and mitigation techniques before they initiate a disaster response. Over the next five years, the Center proposes to train 14,191 workers in 740 courses in the HDPTP.
