DOE Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program

总体-计划摘要/摘要 核设施上的工人面临着已知和未知危险的健康和安全威胁。 不断变化的工作条件(例如，处理工厂退役产生的核废料)带来了新的 以及更多的威胁。从事这些工作的工人需要培训以保护自己， 社区和环境。培训不仅减少了工作现场的事故、伤害和 死亡，但这也是各种政府法规要求的。 根据拟议方案，LIUNA培训和教育基金(LIUNA培训)将 提供培训，帮助工人识别工作现场的危险；保护自己和社区 和环境；为意外的工作现场事件做好准备并支持灾难响应 行为。目标工人执行各种工作，如控制废物、减少和 拆除、拆除建筑物、建造和/或重建和翻新、辐射 核电厂的监测和退役。 附属培训合作伙伴将对工人和能源部工作人员进行培训和认证。 其他主题专家将与LIUNA合作，就质量保证、健康 和安全问题、科技进步和传播模式的努力 程序。培训将针对建筑技工和其他建筑行业， 适当时，环境承包商和政府人员。特别外展将 以少数族裔、弱势群体和不会说英语或英语水平有限的工人为目标。 培训将由位于以下地区的8个合作伙伴中心提供：纽约州西谷； 肯塔基州的帕迪尤卡天然气扩散厂；田纳西州的橡树岭；南卡罗来纳州的萨凡纳河；洛斯阿拉莫斯 北卡罗来纳州的国家实验室、内华达州的试验场、爱达荷州的国家实验室和华盛顿州的汉福德。 培训将针对每个地点的雇主和工人需求，并为工人做好准备 在他们的地理区域内可能发生的事件。LIUNA培训和合作伙伴将提供90 在第一个方案年和类似的培训周，约有2120名受训人员 在剩下的四年里。培训可能包括危险废物工人和 进修生、核电站工人和核技术员等。 助学金计划将培训和认证教师，提供基于能力的证书，以及 培育有效的教育和培训模式。与能源部NTC、行业、 和劳动力发展组织将帮助推动培训需求和创新，并 全面提高能源部员工培训计划的整体质量和有效性。

Overall – Program Summary/Abstract Workers on nuclear sites face health and safety threats from known and unknown hazards. Evolving job conditions (e.g. disposing of nuclear waste from plant decommissioning) pose new and increased threats. Workers on these jobs need training to protect themselves, the community, and the environment. Training not only reduces job site accidents, injuries, and fatalities, but it is also required under various government regulations. Under the proposed program, LIUNA Training and Education Fund (LIUNA Training) will provide training to help workers identify job site hazards; protect themselves, the community and the environment; prepare for unanticipated job site incidents and support disaster response actions. Targeted workers perform a variety of jobs, such as waste containment, reduction, and removal, building demolition, construction and/or reconstruction and renovation, radiation monitoring and decommissioning of nuclear power plants. Affiliated training partners will conduct the training and certification of workers and DOE staff. Other subject matter experts will collaborate with LIUNA Training on quality assurance, health and safety issues, scientific and technological advances, and efforts to disseminate model programs. Training will target Construction Craft Laborers, and other construction trades, environmental contractors and government personnel when appropriate. Special outreach will target minority, disadvantaged and non- or limited-English speaking workers. Training will be provided by 8 partner centers located in the following areas: West Valley, NY; Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in KY; Oak Ridge in TN; Savannah River in SC; Los Alamos National Laboratory in NM; Nevada Test Site, Idaho National Laboratory and Hanford in WA. Training will target employer and worker needs in each location and prepare workers for possible events in their geographic region. LIUNA Training and partners will provide 90 training weeks with approximately 2,120 trainees during the first program year and similar levels during the remaining four years. Training may include Hazardous Waste Worker and Refresher, Nuclear Power Plant Worker and Nuclear Technician among others. The grant program will train and certify instructors, provide competency-based credentials, and foster effective educational and training models. Collaborative efforts with DOE NTC, industry, and workforce development organizations will help advance training needs and innovations and improve overall quality and effectiveness of the DOE Worker Training Program at large.
