UAW Hazardous Material Worker Health and Safety Training (U45)

项目概要/摘要 国际工会、UAW及其合作伙伴建议解决三个问题。第一 是否存在与危险材料直接或间接相关的疾病和伤害的可能性 exposure.第二个是职业和环境健康方面的差距，特别是 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，一个新出现的环境卫生问题。 为了解决第一个问题，我们将继续发展一个正在进行的计划， 首要目标是通过提供健康和安全培训来预防疾病和伤害 直接或间接与消除和/或降低潜在 接触有害物质。全美汽车工人联合会成员都暴露在一个 各种各样的危险。制造业工人可能会接触致癌物质，如 焊接烟尘和六价铬和新出现的危险，如工程 纳米材料（ENM）。在赌场工作的成员经常大量接触致癌物质， 烟草烟雾。在医疗保健和学术实验室，工会成员可以接触到血源性 病原体、灭菌剂、放射性同位素和/或新出现的危害，如ENM。全美汽车工人联合会 与波多黎各大学建立了伙伴关系， 工会在岛上的六千名活跃成员仍在处理 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距 密歇根州，西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口包括许多处于不利地位的人， 环境不公正，正规教育较少，英语水平有限，和/或 获得培训。UAW正在与两个为西班牙裔/拉丁裔服务的合作伙伴合作 密歇根州东南部的社区，密歇根州东南部的天主教慈善机构-西班牙裔 外展服务（CCSEM/HOS）和瓜达卢帕纳之家。这些人群中的许多人 在进行景观美化或农业工作时接触杀虫剂， 从事建筑工作和/或从事家政工作时使用有毒清洁剂， 儿童保育。有些人在户外工作，在那里他们暴露在极端温度，紫外线辐射 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、低工资和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 参加了163个方案，共计20 442个接触小时。五年的总数将是 13，305人参加了815个方案，共102，210个接触小时。该财团 建议解决与危险物质直接或间接相关的疾病和伤害的可能性， 通过开展健康和安全方面的培训，减少材料接触。我们将解决职业问题 通过继续和扩大合作伙伴关系， 与社区团体和其他NIEHS-WTP受助者合作， 和安全培训。阿片类药物危机将通过 制定和提供针对具体人群的治疗和预防课程 阿片类药物成瘾，包括疼痛管理的替代品。此外，我们建议 开发、试点、评估和扩展同伴恢复支持计划，帮助员工寻求 解决阿片类药物成瘾问题。 将对上述所有计划进行评估，以提供持续改进的反馈 课程和交付方法。这将包括监测受训人员对质量的看法， 适当性和有用性以及评估新课程和培训的提供情况 方法;评估培训对工人和组织成果的长期影响 使用创新的和传统的定量和定性评价方法。工人- 在可能的情况下，评价人员将参与评价工作。

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.
