HAZMAT Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex Cooperat*

描述（由申请人提供） 国际消防员协会（IAFF）要求在初始预算期间提供1，500，000美元，并为能源部核武器综合设施合作协议的危险品培训期间提供7，959，497美元。 应对与能源部综合设施有关的事件的应急人员面临着涉及放射性和其他危险材料的健康和安全挑战。 自1994年以来，每年平均有2 200名救援人员在危险材料事故中受伤。 更多的人因接触与消防和EMS反应有关的有毒物质而遭受严重的健康影响。 应对这些挑战的有效补救措施是灵活的培训计划，强调职业安全和健康以及OSHA定义的响应者培训是有效应急响应的关键。协会建议继续执行这一行之有效的培训计划。 这项工作在很大程度上依赖于提供与具体应对危险有关的全面专门培训和有效的培训员培训办法。 它提供的课程格式可以根据特定目标受众面临的具体危险进行定制;使用互联网和高级培训技术与区域方案相结合。估计每年有1，000名参加者在课程结束时掌握了在十个指定能源部地点的当地消防/救援部门以及应要求在其他地区实施该计划所需的知识和工具。IAFF是唯一一个为专业消防员服务的国家组织，并与美国各地的消防/救援部门建立了长期的培训合作伙伴关系，我们的培训课程是当前的，重点突出，随时准备交付。此外，我们有一个高度重视的85名成员的专业消防员/护理人员教练团队培训使用促进技术和基于问题的学习，以加强响应者的安全和健康。 这是一个国家的最先进的计划，由经验丰富，致力于导师提供重点安全和健康信息。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) is requesting $1,500,000 during the initial budget period and $7,959,497 for the total period of the HAZMAT Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex Cooperative Agreement. Emergency personnel responding to incidents related to the DOE complex face health and safety challenges involving radioactive and other hazardous materials. Since 1994, an average of 2,200 responders have been injured at hazardous materials incidents annually. Many more suffer serious health effects from toxic exposure associated with fire fighting and EMS response. The effective remedy to combat these challenges is a flexible training program that emphasizes occupational safety and health and OSHA-defined responder training as a key to effective emergency response. The IAFF proposes to continue to implement such a proven training plan. This effort relies heavily on the provision of comprehensive specialized training pertaining to specific response hazards and an efficient Train-the-Trainer approach. It offers course formats which can be customized to the specific hazards faced by a given target audience; uses a combination of the Internet and Advanced Training Technologies (ATT) and regional programs. The estimated 1,000 annual attendees leave the course with the knowledge and the tools needed to implement this program in local fire/rescue departments in and around ten specified DOE sites, as well as other regions upon request. The IAFF is the only national organization serving professional fire fighters and enjoys long standing training partnerships and access with fire/rescue departments across the U.S. Our training curricula are current, focused and ready to be delivered. In addition, we have a highly regarded 85-member professional firefighter/paramedic instructor team trained in using facilitation techniques and problem-based learning to reinforce responder safety and health. It is a state-of-the-art program with a focused safety and health message provided by experienced, committed instructors.
