 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of the International Union of Operating Engineers National Training Fund's (NTF's) DOE training program is to prevent work-related harm by training workers and instructors how to best protect themselves and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials encountered during facility decommissioning and decontamination, demolition, hazardous materials transportation, environmental restoration of contaminated facilities, or chemical emergency response. The NTF utilizes the train-the-trainer model to train its Peer Trainers. This approach supports collective learning that provides workers/trainees with a better understanding of the job hazards and the empowerment to make changes. The training population can be divided into two categories: Peer Trainers and workers/trainees working at DOE sites or preparing to go to work at DOE sites. Peer Trainers are IUOE workers at a DOE site, appointed from their local union training programs, and are existing apprenticeship and journey-level trainers with adult education experience. The NTF also contracts with retired DOE training personnel to conduct training. Thousands of IUOE workers/trainees are employed on or are preparing to go to work on DOE sites, including the Nuclear Weapons Complex. Heavy equipment operators may be lowering lances into underground tanks to mix sludge for removal, removing contaminated dirt or barrels with backhoes, loading leaky and unlabeled drums containing hazardous chemicals into drum over-packs using an excavator, "capping" or sealing the contaminated materials with cover material using dozers, or loading contained materials for transport to storage facilities such as WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant). Stationary engineers operate, maintain, and repair equipment such as pumps, monitoring wells, or waste water treatment plants, provide filter change service, operate a nitrogen plant, or mix brine with potable water for lower temperature and humidity controlled areas. Over the five-year grant period, the NTF projects to train 19,930 workers with 213,826 training contact hours under the DOE program. Workers/trainees will be trained in selected worker courses including: 8-/24- /40-Hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER), Radiological (RAD) Worker II, Adult CPR/AED, Basic First Aid, 16-Hour Confined Space Awareness, and several awareness courses. The NTF is primarily training at Hanford, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, but will be reaching out to additional DOE sites over the next five years. Many of the worker/trainees taking NTF health and safety training at the DOE sites are IUOE members, but also include other craft, supervisors, scientists, professional safety and health personnel, engineers, health physicists, and health physicist technicians, among others.

 描述（申请人提供）：国际运营工程师联盟国家培训基金（NTF）DOE培训计划的总体目标是通过培训工人和教员如何最好地保护自己及其社区免受设施退役和去污，拆除，危险材料运输，受污染设施的环境恢复或化学品紧急反应。国家培训基金利用培训培训员模式培训同行培训员。这种方法支持集体学习，使工人/学员更好地了解工作危险并有能力做出改变。 培训人员可分为两类：同行培训员和在DOE现场工作或准备去DOE现场工作的工人/受训人员。同行培训师是能源部现场的IUOE工人，从当地工会培训计划中任命，并且是具有成人教育经验的现有学徒和旅程级培训师。NTF还与退休的能源部培训人员签订合同进行培训。数以千计的IUOE工作人员/受训人员受雇于或准备前往能源部的场址工作，包括核武器综合设施。重型设备操作员可能将喷枪降低到地下罐中，以混合污泥进行清除，用反铲清除受污染的污垢或桶，使用挖掘机将含有危险化学品的泄漏和未标记的桶装入桶外包装，使用推土机用覆盖材料“加盖”或密封受污染的材料，或装载所包含的材料以运输到存储设施，如WIPP（废物隔离试验工厂）。固定工程师操作、维护和维修设备，如泵、监测威尔斯或废水处理厂，提供过滤器更换服务，操作氮气厂，或将盐水与饮用水混合，用于温度和湿度控制较低的区域。 在五年的赠款期内，NTF计划在DOE计划下培训19，930名工人，培训时间为213，826小时。工人/学员将接受选定的工人课程培训，包括：8/24/40小时危险废物操作和应急响应（HAZWOPER），放射（RAD）工人II，成人CPR/AED，基本急救，16小时密闭空间意识和几个意识课程。 NTF主要在汉福德、洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室、爱达荷州国家实验室和橡树岭国家实验室进行培训，但在未来五年内将接触更多的能源部地点。在能源部场地接受NTF健康和安全培训的许多工人/受训人员都是IUOE成员，但也包括其他工艺人员、监督员、科学家、专业安全和健康人员、工程师、健康物理学家和健康物理学家技术人员等。
