Project SEAMIST (South East Area Marine Industry Safety Training)

 描述(由申请人提供)：诺瓦东南大学灾害与应急准备研究所建议继续并扩大其成功的海事工人危险材料处理培训项目，项目SEAMICT(东南地区海事工业安全培训)，由RFA-ES-14-008“危险材料工人健康与安全培训”赞助。我们还建议将我们的培训模式扩展到将对此类事件做出反应并负责在此类事件发生后清理危险材料的工人，同时还将实施危险材料海事行业响应培训安全倡议(HazMIRTSI)的并行计划。我们在弗吉尼亚州、佛罗里达州和路易斯安那州建立了由海运业客户(公司和港口)、安全培训合作伙伴和执法代表组成的网络，我们建议将网络扩展到进一步的墨西哥湾(密西西比州和德克萨斯州；项目SEAMICT)和大西洋(6个北部州；HazMIRTSI)。这些必要的培训课程使海事工作人员做好准备，使他们能够在正常工作过程中、在事故期间以及因自然灾害或有针对性的恐怖主义袭击的可能性而发生的事件中接触到危险材料。我们提供三个级别的培训，从基本的工人意识到培训培训员，以便接触到最多的高危人员。通过HazMIRTSI，我们将提供关于危险物质灾害应对准备的额外培训。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Institute for Disaster and Emergency Preparedness at Nova Southeastern University proposes to continue and expand it's successful maritime workers hazardous materials handling training program, Project SEAMIST (South East Area Maritime Industry Safety Training) under the auspices of RFA-ES-14-008 "Hazardous Materials Worker Health and Safety Training". We also propose to extend our training model to workers who will respond to such incidents and will be responsible for cleaning up hazardous materials in the wake of such incidents with a concurrent program in Hazardous Material Maritime Industry Response Training Safety Initiative (HazMIRTSI). We have an established network of maritime industry clientele (companies and ports), safety training partners and law enforcement representatives in Virginia, Florida and Louisiana that we propose to expand into further Gulf (Mississippi and Texas; Project SEAMIST) and Atlantic (6 northern states; HazMIRTSI) states. These required training courses prepare maritime workers for the possibility of exposure to hazardous materials in the course of their regular duties, during accidents, and incidents due to either natural disasters or the possibility of targeted terrorism attacks. We provide three levels of training, from basic worker awareness to training trainers in order to reach the greatest number of at-risk personnel. Through HazMIRTSI, we will provide additional training on hazardous material disaster response preparedness.
