项目摘要/摘要 深南环境正义中心危险废物工人培训中心提供 对危险材料和废物工人进行培训，这些工人可能从事职业安全法规所涵盖的工作 美国安全与健康管理局(OSHA)的危险废物操作和应急响应 (HAZWOPER)标准，并协助雇主遵守职业安全与健康管理局标准29 CFR 1910.120。 该联盟的目标是独一无二的，因为它的重点是危险废物中服务不足的人群 工人培训计划(HWWTP)和环境职业工人培训计划(ECWTP)；以及 灾害准备培训计划(HDPTP)中对灾后恢复至关重要的人群。 拟议的污水处理厂旨在为以下人士提供模范职业安全及健康训练 正在从事或可能从事与危险废物清除、遏制或 化学反应。重点是为有健康和安全培训的实体的工人提供服务 对工人的健康至关重要。这些工作人员包括紧急响应人员和小型 直辖市城市工人和/或预算限制或工作条件较差的城市 或者排除了受训的可能性。志愿消防部门和小县警察部队，市 卫生部门员工、港务局工作人员、蚊子控制员工、HBCU、小型 少数族裔和弱势企业是该联盟培训的工人。 拟议的ECWTP部分旨在提供全面的工人培训，以增加 在以下领域就业的人数不足和处境不利的少数族裔成年人 环境恢复、危险材料和建筑。计划的目标是：(1)服务 居住在危险废物和/或受污染财产附近的代表不足和处境不利的成年人 (2)提供额外的职前服务，包括： 学习技能，数学，阅读，生活技能，以提高项目的保留率和完成率；以及(3)成功 在环境恢复和建筑领域安排培训员工作。 拟议的HDPTP是污水处理厂的扩展，旨在提供安全和健康培训 危险材料和化学工人对灾难的反应。重点放在事前 准备和反应培训对于在过去的灾难中仍然需要培训的工人来说至关重要 (即卡特里娜、丽塔、桑迪和哈维飓风)。此外，该计划还向人口提供培训 被确定为对社区的持续恢复至关重要，包括房主、志愿者、小型 新奥尔良等受灾地区的企业、教会组织成员和领导人， 洛杉矶(后卡特里娜)、休斯顿、德克萨斯州(后哈维)和纽约(后桑迪)。

Project Summary/Abstract The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, Inc. Hazardous Waste Worker Training Center provides training to hazardous materials and wastes workers who may perform jobs covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standards and assist employers in complying with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.120. The Consortium's goal is unique as its emphasis is on underserved populations in its Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP) and Environmental Careers Worker Training Program (ECWTP); and populations critical to post-disaster recovery in its Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP). The proposed HWWTP is designed to provide model occupational safety and health training for workers who are or may be engaged in activities related to hazardous waste removal, containment or chemical response. The emphasis is on servicing workers of entities where health and safety training are critical to the worker’s wellbeing. These workers include emergency responders and small municipality city workers and or cities where budgeting restraints or working conditions, greatly reduces or eliminates the possibility of training. Volunteer fire departments and small county police forces, city health department employees, port authority workers, mosquito control employees, HBCUs, small minority and disadvantaged businesses are workers the Consortium has trained. The proposed ECWTP component is designed to deliver comprehensive worker training to increase the number of underrepresented and disadvantaged minority adults employed in the fields of environmental restoration, hazardous materials and construction. The p r o g r a m goals are: (1) to serve underrepresented and disadvantaged adults living near hazardous waste and or contaminated property at risk of exposure to ambient hazards; (2) to provide additional pre-employment services inclusive of study skills, math, reading, life skills to increase program retention and completion; and (3) to successfully place trainers in jobs in the environmental restoration and construction fields. The proposed HDPTP, as an extension of the HWWTP, is designed to deliver safety and health training to hazardous materials and chemical workers responding to a disaster. The emphasis is on pre-incident preparedness and response training critical for workers still in need of training after responding to past disasters (i.e. Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Sandy and Harvey). In addition, the program delivers training to a population identified as crucial to the continued recovery of communities including homeowners, volunteers, small businesses, and church-based organization members and leaders in disaster-affected areas such as New Orleans, LA (post-Katrina), Houston, TX (post-Harvey) and New York (post-Sandy).
