项目摘要

The Sustainable Workplace Alliance (SWA) and its alliance partners will provide model training to better protect workers in underserved communities that have been negatively impacted by pollution, blight and emergency events. These vulnerable populations are unlikely to know their rights to a safe workplace, the inherent risks of the work they do, the dangers of misuse of opioids, the hazards created by pollution or hazardous materials, and the most effective ways to protect themselves from these harms. Our aim is to assist communities traditionally overburdened by economic distress and exposures to hazardous environmental conditions by providing environmental, health and safety related training and job placement services. By assisting these citizens, we can promote economic development, address health disparities, and advance environmental justice in these disadvantaged communities which will enable these citizens to participate in addressing the needs of their communities in a more meaningful way. SWA and its alliance partners will focus is on English and Spanish-speaking populations in Florida, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and the Pacific Island regions including Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa and Palau. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, worker populations in our geographic targets include over 83,600 workers in construction (hazardous materials removal and laborer). Over the five years duration of the ECWTP project, SWA will conduct 240 classes, train 260 students and cover 35,880 contact hours of training. 200 graduates will be placed in viable and sustainable environmental jobs. Students would typically be employed as remediation contractors, site demolition workers, debris removal and post-emergency cleanup workers; laborers who work with mold, asbestos, and lead-based paint; and abatement workers performing work at Superfund or brownfield sites. This model training and outreach program is designed to reduce injuries and death has an obvious positive effect on public health. Secondly, by placing disadvantaged citizens in viable jobs in the environmental and construction industries, both emotional and economic well-being will improve for the student, their family and their community.

可持续工作场所联盟（SWA）及其联盟合作伙伴将提供模型培训更好地保护在服务不足的社区中受到负面影响的工人污染，疫病和紧急事件。这些脆弱的人群不太可能知道他们的安全工作场所的权利，他们所做工作的固有风险，滥用的危险阿片类药物，污染或危险材料造成的危害以及最有效的方法保护自己免受这些伤害。我们的目的是帮助传统上因经济困扰负担的负担，并通过提供环境，健康和安全性暴露于危险环境条件相关的培训和工作安置服务。通过协助这些公民，我们可以促进经济发展，解决健康差异并提高环境正义处境不利的社区将使这些公民参与解决他们社区的需求以更有意义的方式。 SWA及其联盟合作伙伴将专注于英语和讲西班牙语的人群佛罗里达州，波多黎各，美国维尔京群岛和太平洋岛屿地区，包括夏威夷，关岛，塞班岛，美国萨摩亚和帕劳。根据劳工统计局的说法我们的地理目标中的人口包括83,600多名建筑工人（危险材料清除和劳动者）。在ECWTP项目的五年内，SWA将举办240堂课，火车260 学生并覆盖35,880个接触时间的培训。将有200名毕业生可行，并且可持续的环境工作。学生通常会被雇用为补救承包商，现场拆除工作者，清除碎片和施加后清理工人；与霉菌，石棉合作的劳动者，和铅基涂料；和减排工人在超级基金或棕地网站上进行工作。该模型培训和外展计划旨在减少伤害，死亡具有对公共卫生的明显积极影响。其次，通过将弱势公民置于可行情感和经济福祉的环境和建筑行业的工作学生，家人和他们的社区将有所改善。
