Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP)

危险废物场地修复行业规模庞大，种类繁多，在全国范围内提供了104，000多个工作岗位。(EBI报告2020 B，2009）虽然超级基金的工作已经下降，大约294,000其他污染的网站将需要清理。(EBI报告2020 B，2009）随着联邦政府的重点加快国防部和能源部设施清理，将需要更多的劳动力来填补这些工作。此外，公司希望将受污染的工业场地从其责任中删除，促使他们修复和出售未使用的财产。 环境商业研究所（EBI）预测其他几个环境修复行业的增长。目前有30，000个地上储罐（AST）需要更换和清理。霉菌修复从2000年的5000万美元的小产业增长到2003年的3亿美元产业;预计两位数的增长将继续下去。(EBI报告317，2009）与社区重建相关的工作（如棕地清理，住宅风化， 住房建设也应该增加。这些行业需要训练有素的工人在潜在危险的环境中安全地执行任务。 美国劳工统计局（BLS）证实，硬件修复的就业前景良好，该行业特别容易受到工作人员流动的影响，这支持了持续的硬件工人培训的需求。(BLS 2007）假设工人流失率为10%，每年至少有10，400名新工人需要硬件培训;所有积极的补救工人必须参加硬件复习培训，以保持他们的认证。建筑工人也可能需要HW工人培训，因为他们可能会在工作中遇到受污染的土壤或其他有毒废物。从以前的现场活动和高速公路泄漏中挖掘受污染材料的工人需要HW工人或意识培训，以继续在高速公路上工作。同样，任何工业，商业甚至住宅建筑的工作都可能暴露出必须清除的有毒物质。 所有上述行业都雇用建筑工艺实验室（CCL）进行补救，解构和施工任务。根据市场分析，大约25%的有害物质修复工人是建筑工人。模具修复，拆除和基础设施工作的费用甚至更高。AST、绿色建筑和耐候性/能源效率方面的新工作预计也将雇佣劳动力。因此，需要CCL HW Wori<er and Refresher， 和安全，以及其他建筑和环境培训的高。

The hazardous waste site remediation industry is large and diverse, accounting for more than 104,000 jobs nation-wide. (EBI Report 2020B, 2009) Although Superfund work has declined, roughly 294,000 other contaminated sites will require cleanup. (EBI Report 2020B, 2009) With the federal government's focus on accelerated DOD and DOE facility cleanup, a larger workforce will be needed to fill these jobs. Furthermore, companies want to remove contaminated industrial sites from their liabilities, prompting them to remediate and sell-off unused property. The Environmental Business Institute (EBI) projects growth for several other environmental remediation industries. Currently 30,000 above-ground storage tanks (AST) require replacement and cleanup. Mold remediation grew from a small $50 million industry in 2000, to a $300 million industry by 2003; and double digit growth is expected to continue. (EBI Report 317, 2009) Cleanup jobs associated with community redevelopment (such as Brownfields cleanup, residential weatherization, and housing reconstruction) should also increase. These industries require trained workers to safely perform tasks in potentially dangerous environments. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) confirms that the job outlook for HW remediation is good and that the industry is particularly vulnerable to job turnover, supporting the need for continuous HW Worker training. (BLS 2007) Assuming a low worker attrition rate of 10%, a minimum of 10,400 new workers will need HW training each year; and all active remediation workers must take HW Refresher training to maintain their certification. Construction workers may also need HW Worker training because they may encounter contaminated soil or other toxic waste on the job. Workers that excavate pockets of contaminated material from previous site activities and highway spills need HW Worker or Awareness training to continue to work on the highway job. Similariy, any work on industrial, commercial and even residential buildings can reveal toxic materials that must be removed. All of the above industries employ Construction Craft Laborers (CCL) for remediation, deconstruction, and construction tasks. Based upon market analyses, approximately 25% of HW remediation workers are construction laborers. Percentages are even higher for mold remediation, demolition, and infrastructure jobs. New jobs in AST, green construction, and weatherization/energy efficiency are also expected to employ laborers. Consequently, the need for CCL HW Wori<er and Refresher, health and safety, and other construction and environmental training is high.
