Program Summary/Abstract The International Union, UAW and its partners propose to address three problems. The first is the potential for illness and injury directly or indirectly related to hazardous material exposure. The second is occupational and environmental health disparities, particularly as they affect the Hispanic/Latino population of Southeast Michigan. The third problem is the opioid epidemic, an emerging environmental health issue. To address the first problem, we will continue development of an ongoing program whose paramount goal is to prevent illnesses and injuries by providing training on health and safety topics that are directly or indirectly related to elimination and/or reduction of potential exposure to hazardous materials. UAW members throughout the United States are exposed to a wide variety of hazards. Manufacturing workers can face exposure to carcinogens, such as welding fume and hexavalent chromium and emerging hazards, such as engineered nanomaterials (ENM). Members employed in casinos are often heavily exposed to carcinogenic tobacco smoke. In healthcare and academic labs, union members can be exposed to bloodborne pathogens, sterilants, radioactive isotopes and/or emerging hazards, such as ENM. The UAW has established a partnership with the University of Puerto Rico to provide training to the union’s six thousand active members on the island who are still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. The second problem is occupational and environmental health disparities in Southeast Michigan, where the Hispanic/Latino population includes many who are disadvantaged by environmental injustice, less formal education, limited English proficiency, and/or limited access to training. The UAW is working with two partners who serve the Hispanic/Latino communities in Southeast Michigan, Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan – Hispanic Outreach Services (CCSEM/HOS) and La Casa Guadalupana. Many in these populations are exposed to pesticides when doing landscaping or agricultural work, silica and other dust when working in construction and/or toxic cleaning solvents when working in housekeeping or childcare. Some work outdoors, where they are exposed to temperature extremes, UV radiation and/or air pollutants. They may work 6-7 days per week in jobs characterized by seasonal instability, shifting hours, low pay and physically harmful or dangerous work conditions. The third problem is the opioid crisis, which has affected many UAW members, especially in manufacturing. In the first year of the grant, the UAW and its partners together propose to train 2,661 participants in 163 programs for a total of 20,442 contact hours. The five-year totals would be 13,305 participants in 815 programs for a total of 102,210 contact hours. The consortium proposes to address the potential for illness and injury directly or indirectly related to hazardous material exposure by conducting training in health and safety. We will address occupational and environmental health disparities by continuing and expanding collaborative partnerships with community groups and other NIEHS-WTP grantees for the purpose of delivering health and safety training to underserved populations. The opioid crisis will be addressed by developing and delivering population-specific curricula that address treatment and prevention of opioid addiction, including alternatives for pain management. In addition, we propose to develop, pilot, evaluate, and scale a peer recovery support program that will help workers seek services to address opioid addiction. All of the above programs will be evaluated to provide feedback for continual improvement of curricula and delivery methods. This will include monitoring trainee perceptions of quality, appropriateness, and usefulness as well as assessing new curricula and training delivery methods; evaluating the long-term impact of training on worker and organizational outcomes using innovative and conventional quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods. Worker- evaluators will be incorporated into evaluation when possible.

计划摘要/摘要 国际联盟、美国汽车工人联合会及其合作伙伴建议解决三个问题。第一个 与有害物质直接或间接相关的疾病和伤害的可能性 接触。第二个是职业和环境健康差异，特别是因为 影响密歇根州东南部的西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口。第三个问题是阿片类药物 流行病，一个新出现的环境健康问题。 为了解决第一个问题，我们将继续开发一个正在进行的项目，该项目 最重要的目标是通过提供健康和安全培训来预防疾病和伤害 与消除和/或减少潜力直接或间接相关的主题 接触有害物质。美国各地的 UAW 成员都面临着 危害种类繁多。制造业工人可能面临接触致癌物的风险，例如 焊接烟雾和六价铬以及新出现的危险，例如工程 纳米材料（ENM）。在赌场工作的会员往往严重接触致癌物 烟草烟雾。在医疗保健和学术实验室中，工会成员可能会接触血源性病毒 病原体、灭菌剂、放射性同位素和/或新出现的危险，例如 ENM。全美汽车工人联合会 与波多黎各大学建立了合作伙伴关系，为 岛上的工会六千名活跃成员仍在处理事件的后果 飓风玛丽亚。 第二个问题是东南部地区的职业和环境健康差异 密歇根州，那里的西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口中包括许多处于不利地位的人 环境不公正、教育程度较低、英语水平有限和/或有限 获得培训。 UAW 正在与两个为西班牙裔/拉丁裔提供服务的合作伙伴合作 密歇根州东南部社区、密歇根州东南部天主教慈善机构 - 西班牙裔 外展服务 (CCSEM/HOS) 和 La Casa Guadalupana。这些人群中的许多人 进行园林绿化或农业工作时接触农药，接触二氧化硅和其他灰尘 从事家政工作时，在建筑和/或有毒清洁溶剂中工作，或 育儿。有些人在户外工作，暴露在极端温度、紫外线辐射下 和/或空气污染物。他们可能每周工作 6-7 天，从事季节性工作 不稳定、轮班工作时间、低工资以及对身体有害或危险的工作条件。 第三个问题是阿片类药物危机，它影响了许多 UAW 成员，特别是在 制造业。 在拨款的第一年，UAW 及其合作伙伴共同提议培训 2,661 名 163 个项目的参与者，总共 20,442 个小时的接触时间。五年总计为 815 个项目的 13,305 名参与者，总共 102,210 小时的接触时间。财团 提议解决与危险直接或间接相关的疾病和伤害的可能性 通过进行健康和安全培训来避免材料暴露。我们将解决职业问题 通过继续和扩大合作伙伴关系来消除环境健康差异 与社区团体和其他 NIEHS-WTP 受资助者合作，以提供健康服务 以及对服务不足的人群进行安全培训。阿片类药物危机将通过 开发和提供针对治疗和预防的针对特定人群的课程 阿片类药物成瘾，包括疼痛管理的替代方案。此外，我们建议 制定、试点、评估和扩展同伴康复支持计划，帮助员工寻求帮助 解决阿片类药物成瘾问题的服务。 所有上述计划都将接受评估，以便为持续改进提供反馈 课程和授课方式。这将包括监控学员对质量的看法， 适当性和有用性以及评估新课程和培训交付 方法;评估培训对工人和组织成果的长期影响 使用创新和传统的定量和定性评估方法。工人- 如有可能，评估人员将参与评估。
