Hazardous Material Worker Health and Safety Training (U45), Cooperative Agreement

描述(由申请人提供)： 杰斐逊州立社区学院劳动教育和研究中心(Clear)正在通过与NIEHS危险废物工人培训计划的合作协议申请资金，该计划符合RFA：ES-09-004，通过危险废物工人培训(HWWT)和灾害准备培训(HDPT)计划。Clear建议改善两类工人的健康和安全：(1)美洲原住民部落成员和雇员，以及(2)公共安全人员。该计划将通过提供与职业安全与健康标准29 CFR 1910.120相关主题的专门培训，减少工人在危险材料紧急响应操作中暴露的可能性。Clear将在全国范围内向240万人口的美洲原住民提供课程，包括部落成员和员工，他们可能是第一个对危险物质释放、大规模伤亡事件、秘密药物实验室或其他危险物质事件做出反应的人？这些人员将包括部落警察、环保官员、消防员、环境官员、应急规划者和公共工程员工。该项目将针对美国东南部的公共安全人员，那里的人口为171,390人，包括消防和救援服务人员以及执法人员。这两个群体都有可能在紧急事件中暴露于危险材料，需要进行危险材料培训，培训预算不足。将利用现有课程和参与式技术提供培训。HWWT资助将提供的课程包括：危险材料意识和操作；事故指挥系统；危险物质空气监测；密闭空间救援；呼吸器适配性测试；大规模伤亡事件分类、秘密药物实验室意识；辐射/核意识；大规模杀伤性武器/所有危险意识，以及国家事故管理系统。利用HDPT资金提供的课程将是响应者安全意识和基本灾害生命支持培训。将通过培训员支持网络鼓励和支持同行培训。拟议的计划将培训9500多名学员，不包括基于计算机的培训。这项为期五年的项目总费用为4,067,948美元。 该项目将为两个群体的工人--美洲原住民部落成员和雇员以及公共安全人员--提供培训，使他们能够安全地应对涉及危险材料释放的紧急情况，并为危险材料灾难做好准备。这些人口目前没有接受这种培训，因此拟议的项目将有助于保护工人和他们所服务的社区的生命。 危险废物工人培训计划(HWWTP)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Labor Education and Research (CLEAR) at Jefferson State Community College, is applying for funding through a cooperative agreement with the NIEHS Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program under RFA: ES-09-004 through both the Hazardous Waste Worker Training (HWWT) and Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training (HDPT) programs. CLEAR proposes to improve the health and safety of two populations of workers: (1) Native American tribal members and employees, and (2) public safety personnel. The program will reduce the likelihood of worker exposures during hazardous material emergency response operations by providing specialized training in topics related to OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.120. CLEAR will offer courses nationwide to Native Americans, a population of 2.4 million, including tribal members and employees who may be first to respond to hazmat releases, mass casualty incidents, clandestine drug laboratories or other hazmat events? Such personnel would include tribal police officers, conservation officers, firefighters, environmental officials, emergency planners, and public works employees. The project will target public safety personnel within the southeastern U.S., a population of 171,390 fire and rescue service and law enforcement personnel. Both populations have in common the potential for exposures to hazardous materials during emergency incidents, the need for hazardous materials training, and insufficient training budgets. Training will be provided using existing curricula and participatory techniques. Courses to be provided with the HWWT funding include Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations; Incident Command Systems; Hazmat Air Monitoring; Confined Space Rescue; Respirator Fit Testing; Mass Casualty Incident Triage, Clandestine Drug Lab Awareness; Radiological/Nuclear Awareness; WMD/All Hazards Awareness, and National Incident Management Systems. Courses to be provided with HDPT funding will be Responder Safety Awareness and Basic Disaster Life Support training. Peer training will be encouraged and supported through Trainer Support Network. The proposed program will train over 9,500 trainees, not including computer-based training. The total cost of the five-year project is $4,067,948. This project will provide training to workers in two populations -Native American tribal members and employees, and public safety personnel - that will enable them to safely respond to emergencies involving the release of hazardous materials and to prepare for hazardous materials disasters. These populations do not currently receive this training, so the proposed project will help protect the lives of the workers and the communities they serve.
