DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The California-Arizona Consortium (CAC) proposes to train 17,848 hazardous waste/materials workers in EPA Regions IX and X under the HWWT program. The CAC consists of UCLA-LOSH as the lead agency, UC Davis Extension, UC Berkeley LOHP, Arizona State University College of Technology & Applied Sciences and the University of Washington NW Center for Occupational Health & Safety. With over 3,145 active cleanup sites in the 8 states and 4 U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands, there continues to be great need for training. A full range of courses will be provided for workers and supervisors involved in CERCLA cleanup, hazmat emergency response, and hazmat transport. Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) courses will be provided as needed. Train-the-Trainer courses will be offered for environmental justice organizations, maquiladora workers along the U.S./Mexico border, and other NIEHS awardees. The CAC will assist with the National Trainers' Exchanges. Access to target populations has been established over the past 17 years of NIEHS funding. The CAC emphasizes outreach to underserved, non-English-speaking workers, those with limited literacy skills, and those who are low income or workers of color. Curricula will be updated, e-learning and WMD modules introduced, and materials translated into Spanish. The Impact Evaluation addresses 2 NORA priority areas. The proposed HDPT program will expand the scope and target population of the CAC to a new frontline high-risk workforce at West Coast ports. The CAC will develop a model program and train 3,040 workers to identify and respond appropriately in the event of hazmat emergencies or security threats. The CAC will partner with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and coordinate with the Area Maritime Security Committees at the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland/San Francisco and Seattle/Tacoma. The CAC will also convene a Community Forum to address occupational or environmental health and security issues related to the transport of global goods from the ports throughout the Southern California region.

描述（由申请人提供） 加州-亚利桑那联盟 (CAC) 提议根据 HWWT 计划在 EPA 第九区和第十区培训 17,848 名危险废物/材料工人。 CAC 由牵头机构 UCLA-LOSH、加州大学戴维斯分校分校、加州大学伯克利分校 LOHP、亚利桑那州立大学技术与应用科学学院和华盛顿大学西北职业健康与安全中心组成。 美国 8 个州和 4 个美国所属太平洋岛屿有超过 3,145 个活跃的清理地点，因此仍然非常需要培训。 将为参与 CERCLA 清理、危险品应急响应和危险品运输的工人和主管提供全方位的课程。 将根据需要提供大规模杀伤性武器（WMD）课程。培训师培训课程将为环境正义组织、美国/墨西哥边境的加工工厂工人以及其他 NIEHS 获奖者提供。 CAC 将协助国家培训师交流。 在过去 17 年的 NIEHS 资助中，已经建立了接触目标人群的途径。 CAC 强调向服务不足的非英语工人、文化技能有限的工人以及低收入工人或有色人种工人提供服务。 课程将更新，引入电子学习和大规模杀伤性武器模块，并将材料翻译成西班牙语。 影响评估涉及 NORA 的 2 个优先领域。 拟议的 HDPT 计划将把 CAC 的范围和目标人群扩大到西海岸港口新的一线高风险劳动力。 CAC 将开发一个模型计划并培训 3,040 名工作人员，以便在发生危险品紧急情况或安全威胁时识别并做出适当反应。 CAC 将与国际码头和仓库联盟合作，并与洛杉矶/长滩、奥克兰/旧金山和西雅图/塔科马港口的地区海事安全委员会进行协调。 CAC 还将召开社区论坛，以解决与从整个南加州地区港口运输全球货物相关的职业或环境健康和安全问题。
