Hazardous Materials Worker Health and Safety Training (U45)

总体方案摘要/摘要 西部地区大学联盟（WRUC）培训计划的总体目标是 保护工人和社区不接触危险材料和危险废物; 预防、准备、应对紧急情况/灾害并从中恢复; 在环境领域和建筑行业的职业道路。WRUC计划是 通过加州大学洛杉矶分校劳工职业安全和健康部在EPA第九和第十区提供 计划（UCLA-LOSH）作为牵头机构，加州大学伯克利分校的劳动职业健康 计划（UCB-LOHP），亚利桑那州立大学的富尔顿工程学院， 环境与资源管理计划（ASU），以及华盛顿大学的 西北职业健康与安全中心（Northwest Center for Occupational Health & Safety，UW）该联盟开发了一种模型， 计划自1987年以来，并将继续这样做，在未来五年内，通过三个NIEHS 组成部分：危险废物工人培训计划（HWWTP），危险灾害 准备培训计划（HDPTP）和环境职业工作者培训计划 （ECWTP）。WRUC将在1,250个课程中培训15,295名工人和社区成员， 314，740个接触小时。课程针对危险废物清理中工人的危险， 危险品处理、储存、运输和处置业务;加强应急反应， 防灾、备灾、救灾和灾后恢复活动;为就业做好准备 和生活技能WRUC将扩大对服务不足人群的宣传;应对新的和 新出现的危险;建设能力，以持续开展培训活动、安全和应急反应 计划;并支持HAZWOPER培训人员和应急响应人员的国家网络。 为加州炼油厂工人和 周边社区可以作为该地区以外的模式。1)HWWTP活动将 覆盖整个地区的11，115名危险材料和废物工人和监督员， 加强美墨边境、部落群体和 太平洋群岛。一项气候变化倡议将技术融入到日工中， 大量的说西班牙语的户外劳动力。2)HDPT活动将惠及3，575名工人 通过与阿拉斯加和太平洋地区的部落团体合作， 西北和劳工和社区环境正义组织在加州，家里， 美国最大的港口综合体和高度集中的炼油厂和化工设施。 3)ECWTP在洛杉矶、西雅图和波特兰的活动将培训和安置605名工人， 建筑和环境工作。

Overall Program Summary/Abstract The overall goal of the Western Region Universities Consortium (WRUC) training program is to protect workers and communities from exposure to hazardous materials and hazardous waste; to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies/disasters; and to create pathways to careers in the environmental field and construction industry. WRUC programs are delivered in EPA Regions IX and X through the UCLA Labor Occupational Safety and Health Program (UCLA-LOSH) as the lead institution, UC Berkeley's Labor Occupational Health Program (UCB-LOHP), Arizona State University's Fulton Schools of Engineering, Environmental & Resource Management Program (ASU), and University of Washington's Northwest Center for Occupational Health & Safety (UW). The Consortium has developed model programs since 1987 and will continue to do so in the coming five years through three NIEHS components: Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP), Hazard Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP) and Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP). WRUC will train 15,295 workers and community members in 1,250 courses for a total of 314,740 contact hours. Courses address hazards to workers in hazardous waste cleanup and hazmat treatment, storage, transport and disposal operations; strengthen emergency response, disaster prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities; and provide job readiness and life skills. WRUC will expand outreach to underserved populations; respond to new and emerging hazards; build capacity to sustain training activities, safety and emergency response programs; and support a national network of HAZWOPER trainers and emergency responders. A Safe Jobs Safe Communities initiative for California refinery workers and those in surrounding communities can serve as a model beyond the region. 1) HWWTP activities will reach 11,115 hazardous materials and waste workers and supervisors throughout the region and strengthen emergency response capacity on the US-Mexico border, among tribal groups and in the Pacific Islands. A climate change initiative incorporates technology to reach day laborers and the large Spanish-speaking outdoor workforce. 2) HDPT activities will reach 3,575 workers and community members through partnerships with tribal groups in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest and with labor and community environmental justice groups in California, home to the nation's largest ports complex and high concentrations of refineries and chemical facilities. 3) ECWTP activities in Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland will train and place 605 workers in construction and environmental jobs.
