DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UWUA Power for America Training Trust Fund (Power4America) is the non-profit (501 c3) joint labor management corporation composed of the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) and three utility industry employers (Utility Lines Construction Services, Inc., National grid, and Entergy). The UWUA represents 50,000 utility workers in 219 local unions in 27 states and the Virgin Islands who are employed in electrical generation (nuclear and fossil fuel); electrical transmission and distribution; gas transmission and distribution; and water treatment, distribution, and purification. Power4America and the Labor Institute (Ll), also a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, are applying to the NIEHS for a HWWT/HDPTPP grant to train utility workers to meet the requirements for OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.120. We propose to modify existing curricula for this population and conduct worker/manager training programs to protect these workers/managers and community residents from exposure to hazardous materials and wastes generated by utility operations. This training will help workers and supervisors to protect themselves during emergencies and to implement strategies to prevent deadly accidents that could impact the workers as well as communities surrounding the utility. The utility industry has been absent from the NIEHS grant picture for twenty years even though exposures under 29 CFR 1910.120 have been present. This is a critical problem and a barrier that needs to be dismantled. Workers need to be trained so that they can protect themselves and the communities in which they work. This training is intended to prepare workers to deal properly with hazardous waste, to defensively secure hazardous waste safely when responding to emergencies, as well as to be aware of potential hazards when working off-site from the utility. We also hope to establish a culture within these utility facilities that allows for a cooperative relationship between labor and management to identify hazards before they become emergencies and to remediate them. Lastly, we hope to actively engage underserved members of the community through involvement in the training program. The trainings then give workers and managers the opportunity to interact with each other and begin the process of solving these problems together. Our premise is that the joint problem solving that begins during the training will continue between workers and managers in the workplace. Utility Worker employers are partnering with the Power4America and the Ll in this grant to the fullest extent, offering trainees time for training as well as equipment and space for the trainings.

描述(由申请人提供)： UWUA Power for America培训信托基金(Power4America)是由美国公用事业工人工会(UWUA)和三个公用事业行业雇主(公用事业线路建设服务公司、国家电网和Entergy)组成的非营利性(501 C3)联合劳动管理公司。UWUA代表了27个州和维尔京群岛219个地方工会的5万名公用事业工人，他们受雇于发电(核能和化石燃料)；输配电；天然气输配；以及水处理、分配和净化。Power4America和同样是第501(C)(3)非营利性组织的劳工研究所(LL)正在向NIEHS申请HWWT/HDPTPP赠款，以培训公用事业工人，以满足职业安全与健康管理局标准29 CFR 1910.120的要求。我们建议修改针对这一群体的现有课程，并开展工人/管理人员培训计划，以保护这些工人/管理人员和社区居民免受公用事业运营产生的危险材料和废物的影响。这项培训将帮助工人和监督员在紧急情况下保护自己，并实施战略，以防止可能影响工人和公用事业周围社区的致命事故。20年来，公用事业行业一直没有出现在NIEHS赠款的图景中，尽管存在低于29 CFR 1910.120的风险敞口。这是一个关键问题，也是一个需要拆除的障碍。工人需要接受培训，这样他们才能保护自己和他们工作的社区。这项培训的目的是让工人准备好正确处理危险废物，在应对紧急情况时以防御性的方式确保危险废物的安全，并意识到在离公用事业公司的现场工作时存在的潜在危险。我们还希望在这些公用事业设施内建立一种文化，允许劳资双方建立合作关系，在危险转化为紧急情况之前识别危险并进行补救。最后，我们希望通过参与培训计划，积极吸引服务不足的社区成员。然后，培训给工人和经理提供相互互动的机会，并开始共同解决这些问题的过程。我们的前提是，在培训期间开始的联合解决问题将在工作场所的工人和经理之间继续进行。公用事业工人雇主正在最大限度地与Power4America和LL合作，为学员提供培训时间以及培训设备和空间。 危险废物工人培训计划(HWWTP)
