With this application, the Alabama Fire College (AFC) Workplace Safety Training Program (WST) proposes to continue delivering model NIEHS-funded training to two worker populations – members and employees of Native American tribes nationwide and Public Safety Personnel within the southeastern U.S. Both target populations face significant health and safety risks due to potential exposure to hazards during (1) emergency response to uncontrolled releases of hazardous materials (hazmats), (2) emergency response to disasters caused by terrorist attacks, accidental hazmat releases, or severe weather events, and (3) work assessing and remediating uncontrolled hazardous waste dumps. They also face highly dangerous illicit drug use and manufacture. All these emergencies represent significant hazards to the health and safety of the responders and the communities they serve. The 573 federally recognized Native American tribes include 1.9 million members living in the contiguous 48 states and Alaska on over 50 million acres of land through which run hundreds of thousands of miles of rivers, roads, and railroad rights-of-way, making transportation accidents a significant threat. Additionally, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 74,870 firefighters, 53,500 emergency medical technicians and paramedics and 137,740 police and sheriff’s patrol officers in the southeastern states where the program has been most active: Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. AFC will be joined by Native American Fish and Wildlife Society to promote the proposed training to tribal emergency response personnel. AFC/WST will use the growing network of contacts developed over its 32-year history (as WST) as well as the broader AFC’s leadership in North American Fire Training Directors and other networks of training providers to carry training to public sector responders. This training will include existing courses in topics such as hazardous materials emergency response, incident command systems, air monitoring, mass casualty incident triage, confined space rescue, illicit drug response, and responder safety during natural and man-made disasters. Hazardous materials training will be expanded to Hazmat Technician level and hazardous waste worker initial and refresher training will be added to the training plan. The training will be delivered directly by AFC instructors and through secondary training by trainees who take the training back to their tribes and local agencies. AFC instructors are projected to directly train over 2,565 Native American responders and over 2,805 public sector responders in both programs. In addition, peer trainers will use AFC materials to train an additional 1,080 of their peers. In total for the five years, AFC projects to conduct over 360 classes to over 6,450 trainees in 98,600 contact hours through direct and secondary training.

有了这个应用程序，亚拉巴马消防学院（AFC）工作场所安全培训计划（WST）建议 继续向两个工人群体--成员和雇员--提供NIEHS资助的示范培训 美国本土部落和美国东南部的公共安全人员的目标都是 人口面临着重大的健康和安全风险，由于潜在的接触危险期间（1） 对危险材料（hazmats）失控释放的应急反应，（2）应急反应 由恐怖袭击、意外危险物质释放或恶劣天气事件造成的灾害，以及（3）工作 评估和补救不受控制的危险废物倾倒。他们还面临着高度危险的非法 毒品使用和制造。所有这些紧急情况都严重危害到人们的健康和安全， 以及他们所服务的社区。联邦政府承认的573个美洲土著部落 包括190万名成员，他们居住在毗邻的48个州和阿拉斯加，土地面积超过5000万英亩 通过它运行数十万英里的河流，道路和铁路的权利，使 交通事故是一个重大威胁。此外，根据劳工统计局的数据， 有74,870名消防员，53,500名紧急医疗技术人员和护理人员以及137,740名警察 以及东南部各州的治安官巡逻人员，这些州是该项目最活跃的地方：亚拉巴马， 格鲁吉亚、佛罗里达、密西西比、路易斯安那、田纳西、北卡罗来纳州和南卡罗来纳州。AFC将 美国土著鱼类和野生动物协会加入，以促进拟议的部落紧急情况培训 响应人员。AFC/WST将利用其32年历史上不断增长的联系网络 (as WST）以及更广泛的AFC在北美消防培训总监和其他 培训提供者网络，向公共部门应急人员提供培训。培训将包括现有的 危险材料应急响应、事件指挥系统、空气等主题的课程 监测、大规模伤亡事故分类、密闭空间救援、非法药物响应和响应者安全 在自然和人为灾害中。危险材料培训将扩大到危险材料 培训计划中将增加技术员级别和危险废物工作人员的初始培训和进修培训。 培训将由AFC讲师直接提供，并通过学员的二级培训提供， 把培训带回他们的部落和当地机构。AFC教练预计将直接培训 2，565名美国原住民响应者和超过2，805名公共部门响应者参加了这两个项目。此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 同行培训员将使用AFC材料培训另外1 080名同行。在过去的五年里，AFC 计划透过直接及间接的培训，为超过6，450名学员提供超过360堂课程， 二级培训。
