 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the Western Region Universities Consortium (WRUC) training program is to protect workers and communities from exposure to hazardous materials and hazardous waste; to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies/disasters; and to create pathways to careers in the environmental field and construction industry. WRUC programs are delivered in EPA Regions IX and X through the UCLA Labor Occupational Safety and Health Program (UCLA-LOSH) as the lead institution, UC Berkeley's Labor Occupational Health Program (UCB-LOHP), Arizona State University's Fulton Schools of Engineering, Environmental & Resource Management Program (ASU), and University of Washington's Northwest Center for Occupational Health & Safety (UW). The Consortium has developed model programs since 1987 and will continue to do so in the coming five years through three NIEHS components: Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP), Hazard Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP) and Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP). WRUC will train 15,295 workers and community members in 1,250 courses for a total of 314,740 contact hours. Courses address hazards to workers in hazardous waste cleanup and hazmat treatment, storage, transport and disposal operations; strengthen emergency response, disaster prevention, preparedness, and response and recovery activities; and provide job readiness and life skills. WRUC will expand outreach to underserved populations; respond to new and emerging hazards; build capacity to sustain training activities, safety and emergency response programs; and support a national network of HAZWOPER trainers and emergency responders. A Safe Jobs Safe Communities initiative for California refinery workers and those in surrounding communities can serve as a model beyond the region. 1) HWWTP activities will reach 11,115 hazardous materials and waste workers and supervisors throughout the region and strengthen emergency response capacity on the US-Mexico border, among tribal groups and in the Pacific Islands. A climate change initiative incorporates technology to reach day laborers and the large Spanish-speaking outdoor workforce. 2) HDPT activities will reach 3,575 workers and community members through partnerships with tribal groups in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest and with labor and community environmental justice groups in California, home to the nation's largest ports complex and high concentrations of refineries and chemical facilities. 3) ECWTP activities in Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland will train and place 605 workers in construction and environmental jobs.

 描述（由申请人提供）： 西部地区大学联盟 (WRUC) 培训计划的总体目标是保护工人和社区免于接触危险材料和危险废物；预防、准备、应对紧急情况/灾难并从中恢复；并为环境领域和建筑行业的职业生涯创造途径。 WRUC 计划通过作为牵头机构的加州大学洛杉矶分校劳工职业安全与健康计划 (UCLA-LOSH)、加州大学伯克利分校劳工职业健康计划 (UCB-LOHP)、亚利桑那州立大学富尔顿工程学院、环境与资源管理计划 (ASU) 以及华盛顿大学西北职业健康与安全中心 (UW) 在 EPA 第九区和第十区提供。该联盟自 1987 年以来就制定了示范计划，并将在未来五年内通过三个 NIEHS 组成部分继续这样做：危险废物工人培训计划 (HWWTP)、灾害备灾培训计划 (HDPTP) 和环境职业工人培训计划 (ECWTP)。 WRUC 将为 15,295 名工人和社区成员提供 1,250 个课程的培训，总计 314,740 个接触小时。课程涉及危险废物清理和危险品处理、储存、运输和处置作业中工人面临的危险；加强应急响应、防灾、备灾、响应和恢复活动；并提供工作准备和生活技能。 WRUC 将扩大服务范围，覆盖服务不足的人群；应对新出现的危险；建设维持培训活动、安全和应急计划的能力；并支持全国 HAZWOPER 培训师和应急响应人员网络。针对加州炼油厂工人和周边社区工人的“安全工作、安全社区”倡议可以成为该地区以外的典范。 1) HWWTP 活动将覆盖整个地区的 11,115 名危险材料和废物工人和主管，并加强美墨边境、部落群体和太平洋岛屿的应急响应能力。气候变化倡议采用了技术来惠及日工和大量讲西班牙语的户外劳动力。 2) 通过与阿拉斯加和太平洋西北地区的部落团体以及加利福尼亚州的劳工和社区环境正义团体合作，HDPT 活动将惠及 3,575 名工人和社区成员，加利福尼亚州拥有美国最大的港口综合体以及高度集中的炼油厂和化工厂。 3) ECWTP 在洛杉矶、西雅图和波特兰的活动将培训和安排 605 名工人从事建筑和环境工作。
