Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP)

摘要 国际操作工程师联合会(IUOE)是1987年美国国家环境卫生科学研究所(NIEHS)工人教育和培训计划(WETP)的原始获奖者之一。从那时起，NTF一直在根据该计划不断提供培训，努力提高培训的有效性，同时扩大课程数量，接触到更多高危工人。完毕 在IUOE服务的23年中，培训数量稳步增长，而每个学生的成本却下降了。IUOE及其当地工会/雇主培训信托基金在2008年花费了超过1.32亿美元，明确表明IUOE地方工会和IUOE签约承包商多么坚定地相信一个训练有素的人， 安全高效的劳动大军。 IUOE国家培训基金(NTF)最初成立于1994年，于2006年成为IUOE的联邦赠款、合同和合作协议的后续受赠人组织。NTF是LUOE国际级培训计划的伞式组织，协调政策、战略和活动。进行这一重组的部分原因是为了将安全和健康培训早期纳入 学徒计划，当年轻工人最愿意将安全内化为一种价值时，接触到真正的高危人群。2005年，根据美国劳工统计局的数据，20岁至24岁的工人的伤害和疾病发生率最高。NTF向这一人群提供一系列与HAZWOPER和HAZWOPER相关的安全和健康培训，作为向成员提供的广泛服务的一部分。 在联邦合作协议和赠款的支持下，NTF向IUOE教员和当地工会提供最先进的HAZWOPER(危险材料)和OSHA课程和培训材料。 IUOE培训项目以久经考验、一贯有效和真正的国际化而享有盛誉。在美国和加拿大，有1000多名教师、数百个设施、教室、商店、实验室和数千英亩的土地，学徒和旅行级别的成员可以磨练或提高他们的技能。劳工部部长希尔达·考尔斯要求劳工部管理人员 美国复苏与再投资法案(ARRA)对建筑项目的奖励包括安全培训。她规定必须参加的两门课程中的一门是NTF在2009年7月开设的：OSHA 7415建筑业要求：重大危险意识和预防策略。 这项计划的总体影响是为全国高危人群中的工人提供培训，以提高他们的工作现场安全和应对不断变化的工作环境挑战的能力。

ABSTRACT The International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) was one of the original National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Worker Education and Training Program (WETP) awardees in 1987. Continuously providing training under the program since then the NTF has constantiy strived to improve the effectiveness of the training, while expanding the number of courses and reaching more at-risk workers. Over the 23 years of service by the IUOE, the training numbers have steadily grown while the cost per student has dropped. The IUOE and its local union/employer training trust funds spent over $132 million entraining in 2008 unequivocally demonstrating how firmly IUOE local unions and IUOE signatory contractors believe in a welltrained, safe and productive work force. Originally established in 1994, the IUOE National Training Fund (NTF) became the successor grantee organization to the IUOE for federal grants, contracts and cooperative agreements in 2006. The NTF serves as the umbrella organization for the lUOE's international-level training programs, coordinating policies, strategies, and activities. This reorganization was undertaken, in part, to integrate safety and health training eariy into apprenticeship programs, reaching a truly at-risk population when young workers are most open to internalizing safety as a value. In 2005, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers who were 20 to 24 years of age had the highest incidence rate of injuries and illnesses.^ The NTF offers a range of HAZWOPER and HAZWOPER-related safety and health training to this population as part of broad offerings to members. With support under federal cooperative agreements and grants the NTF provides state-of-the-art HAZWOPER (hazardous materials) and OSHA courses and training materials to IUOE instructors and local unions. IUOE training programs have a well-deserved reputation as time-tested, consistently effective and truly international. With over one thousand instructors, hundreds of facilities, classrooms, shops, labs and thousands of acres throughout the U.S. and Canada apprentices and journey-level members can hone or advance their skills. The Secretary of Labor, Hilda Soils, has required that Labor Department staff managing American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) awards for construction projects take safety training. One of the two courses she stipulated that must be taken was created by the NTF in July 2009: OSHA 7415 Construction Industry Requirements: Awareness of Major Hazards and Prevention Strategies. The overall impact from this program provides workers in an at-risk population nationwide with training that enhances their jobsite safety and their ability to meet the challenges of the changing work environment.
