DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): The IAFF proposes to continue its nationwide Hazardous Substance Training Program for fire fighters, paramedics and other first responders employed in 30,400 fire departments across the United States. (National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), U.S. Fire Department Profile through 2004, September 2005). In 2004, 75,840 firefighter injuries occurred in the line of duty, a decrease of 3.7 percent from the year before. Fire fighter injuries constituted 36,880 or 48.6 percent of all injuries during foreground operations. An estimated 14,250 occurred during other on duty activities, while 13,150 occurred at non-fire emergency incidents (FMPA, U.S. Firefighter Injuries of 2004). In the course of their work, thousands more first responders are exposed to toxic materials that potentially increase their long-term risk for certain types of cancer, heart-lung damage, leukemia, and other diseases. The IAFF's proven training program strongly and forcefully emphasizes occupational safety and health as part of a comprehensive hazardous materials first responder training plan. Besides meeting the salient demand for federally-mandated hazardous materials first responder training, the IAFF program seeks to fundamentally change fire fighters' knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, causing them to adopt a safer approach to responses throughout their careers. Our Recruit Training Initiative exemplifies this philosophy, and is currently used in numerous fire-rescue departments nationwide. In summary, the IAFF proposes to continue our comprehensive project for both career and volunteer fire fighters with a proven staff of grant management professionals and nationally-acclaimed fire service instructors. The IAFF proposal provides for at least 130 first responder courses every year the project is funded. This training activity is supported by curricula development, continuing education for field instructors, ongoing development of digital and web-based learning methodologies and a comprehensive evaluation plan to track student, course, and institutional changes. The IAFF is the only national organization serving professional fire fighters and enjoys longstanding training partnerships; and unmatched access to over 26,000 fire/rescue departments across the United States. Our training curricula are current, focused and ready to be delivered. This is a state-of-the-art program with a focused safety and health message provided by experienced, committed instructors.

描述（由申请人提供）：IAFF 建议继续为全美 30,400 个消防部门的消防员、护理人员和其他急救人员开展全国性有害物质培训计划。 （美国国家消防协会 (NFPA)，《2004​​ 年美国消防局概况》，2005 年 9 月）。 2004年，消防员因公受伤75840人，比上年下降3.7%。消防员在前台作业中受伤人数为 36,880 人，占所有受伤人数的 48.6%。据估计，有 14,250 起事故发生在其他执勤活动期间，而 13,150 起事故发生在非火灾紧急事件中（FMPA，2004 年美国消防员受伤事件）。在工作过程中，成千上万的急救人员接触到有毒物质，这可能会增加他们患某些类型的癌症、心肺损伤、白血病和其他疾病的长期风险。 IAFF 经过验证的培训计划强烈强调职业安全和健康，作为全面的危险材料急救人员培训计划的一部分。除了满足联邦政府规定的危险材料急救员培训的突出需求外，IAFF 计划还寻求从根本上改变消防员的知识、态度和行为，使他们在整个职业生涯中采取更安全的应对方法。我们的新兵培训计划体现了这一理念，目前已在全国众多消防部门使用。 总之，IAFF 建议继续为职业消防员和志愿消防员提供全面的项目，并配备一支经过验证的拨款管理专业人员和全国知名的消防教练员队伍。 IAFF 提案规定，该项目每年资助至少 130 个急救人员课程。这项培训活动得到了课程开发、现场讲师继续教育、数字和网络学习方法的持续开发以及跟踪学生、课程和机构变化的综合评估计划的支持。 IAFF 是唯一为专业消防员提供服务的国家组织，并享有长期的培训合作伙伴关系；以及无与伦比的访问美国各地 26,000 多个消防/救援部门的权限。我们的培训课程是最新的、重点突出的并且随时可以交付。这是一个最先进的项目，由经验丰富、尽职尽责的教练提供重点安全和健康信息。
