DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Texas-Utah Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Education and Training (The Consortium) leverages two large, established education and research centers, both funded in part by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, with a diverse and experienced collection of partners to develop and deliver a full spectrum of high quality education, research and training. The Consortium's primary purpose is to positively and meaningfully impact the health of our communities by providing practical hands-on health and safety training to workers (1) in facilities that generate, label, treat, store load, transport, receive, unload and dispose of hazardous materials; (2) who prepare for and conduct emergency response activities, including clean up and remediation of hazardous material spills; (3) in laboratories that receive samples of potentially hazardous materials, including potentially contaminated environmental samples; and (4) with the responsibility to prevent, deter or respond to large scale intentional or natural disasters. We place special emphasis on training returning veterans and members of underserved minorities, including African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans and Pacific Islanders and we take great pride in utilizing modern and innovative adult teaching techniques. Our long-term objectives are to prepare workers and communities to protect themselves, their colleagues and their environment from exposures to potentially harmful hazardous materials using sound scientific methods and to promote the health, resiliency and financial stability in populations that are most vulnerable t disasters. Geographically, our activities will focus on Public Health Regions 6 and 8, with training delivery in other regions as requested.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯州-犹他州危险废物工人教育和培训联盟（该联盟）利用两个大型，已建立的教育和研究中心，两者都由国家职业安全与健康研究所部分资助，拥有多样化和经验丰富的合作伙伴，以开发和提供全方位的高质量教育，研究和培训。该联盟的主要目的是通过向(1)生产、标签、处理、储存、装载、运输、接收、卸载和处置危险材料的设施的工人提供实际的动手健康和安全培训，对我们社区的健康产生积极和有意义的影响；(2)准备和开展应急活动，包括清理和补救危险物质泄漏；（三）接收潜在危险物质样品，包括可能被污染的环境样品的实验室；（四）有预防、制止和应对大规模人为灾害和自然灾害的责任。我们特别重视培训退伍军人和服务不足的少数民族成员，包括非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民和太平洋岛民，我们对利用现代和创新的成人教学技术感到非常自豪。我们的长期目标是使工人和社区做好准备，利用合理的科学方法保护自己、同事和环境，避免接触可能有害的危险物质，并促进最易受灾害影响的人口的健康、复原力和金融稳定。从地理上讲，我们的活动将侧重于公共卫生第6区和第8区，并根据要求在其他区域提供培训。
