Abstract Climate change continues to adversely affect vulnerable communities which predominately affects people of color. This is evident in Puerto Rico as hurricanes, flooding and serve weather continue to create health hazards that disproportionately affect the island’s citizens, including those involved in work related to remediation and rebuilding efforts after a disaster. The Sustainable Workplace Alliance will conduct training for workers and volunteers involved in response and recovery efforts after a declared disaster. The training would ensure workers are aware of physical and health hazards and mitigation techniques prior to and during response activities. Those workers and community volunteers trained would understand potential health hazards encountered during remediation work after a disaster including mold, lead paint and asbestos exposure. Under this project, we expect to deliver 56 classes covering 13 topics and 4,699 contact hours. The delivery of this training will provide essential training to a minimum of 564 workers and vulnerable community members. The topics we will deliver under this project include the following: • Renovation, Repair and Painting (Lead Paint) • Muck and Gut • Asbestos Awareness • Asbestos Worker • First Aid & CPR • Powered Industrial Truck • OSHA 10 Hour Construction • OSHA 7.5 Hour Site Disaster Worker • OSHA 15 Hour Site Disaster Worker • Hurricane Preparedness and Response • Fall Protection • Respiratory Protection • Psychological First Aid The overarching goal of this project is to reduce injuries and illnesses to workers when performing remediation, demolition, and rebuilding work as a result of a disaster. This project will include program assessment with a goal to evaluate: • The model plan for treating mold damage in Puerto Rico • The challenges faced due to the unique construction methods and materials used in Puerto Rico • How effective our outreach was to workers and community members • The identification of additional best practices during a disaster and during disaster response • Language justice issues that can help foster improvement in disaster prep and recovery communications

摘要 气候变化继续对脆弱社区造成不利影响，主要影响 有色人种。这在波多黎各很明显，飓风、洪水和恶劣天气继续 造成健康危害，对岛上公民造成不成比例的影响，包括那些参与 与灾后补救和重建工作相关的工作。 可持续工作场所联盟将对参与以下活动的工人和志愿者进行培训 在宣布发生灾难后的响应和恢复工作。培训将确保工人们意识到 响应活动之前和期间的人身和健康危害及缓解技术。那些 受过培训的工作人员和社区志愿者将了解遇到的潜在健康危害 在灾难发生后的补救工作中，包括霉菌、含铅油漆和石棉暴露。 在这个项目下，我们预计将提供56个课程，涵盖13个主题和4699个接触小时。这个 提供这项培训将为至少564名工人和弱势群体提供基本培训 社区成员。我们将在该项目下提供的主题包括： ·翻新、维修和粉刷(含铅油漆) ·Muck和Gut ·石棉意识 ·石棉工人 ·急救和心肺复苏 ·电动工业卡车 ·OSHA 10小时施工 ·OSHA 7.5小时现场灾难工作人员 ·OSHA 15小时现场灾难工作人员 ·飓风防备和应对 ·跌倒保护装置 ·呼吸防护 ·心理急救 该项目的总体目标是减少工人在执行任务时的伤害和疾病 灾难发生后的补救、拆除和重建工作。该项目将包括计划 以评估为目标的评估： ·波多黎各处理霉菌损坏的示范计划 ·由于波多黎各使用独特的建筑方法和材料而面临的挑战 ·我们对工人和社区成员的外展工作有多有效 ·确定灾害期间和灾害应对期间的其他最佳做法 ·语言正义问题，有助于促进灾前准备和灾后恢复工作的改善 通信
