Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training

项目摘要/摘要 中西部危险废物工人培训联盟(MWC)提供示范培训计划 对可能接触危险物质的工人和居民。此节目将在13岁之前交付 9个州的培训中心：伊利诺伊州、印第安纳州、肯塔基州、密歇根州、明尼苏达州、北达科他州、俄亥俄州、田纳西州、 和威斯康星州。其中八个中心是以设备为基础的中心，最关注HAZWOPER 对指定危险废物场所的工人进行相关培训；处理、储存和处置 设施；以及在广泛的应急响应方面的作用。剩下的五个中心以社区为基础 中心的重点是帮助工人和居民，特别是那些来自服务不足的人口，以 在他们的社区中识别危险物质并做出反应。 在9个MWC州中，有5个州(伊利诺伊州、肯塔基州、明尼苏达州、北达科他州、田纳西州)受到严重影响 根据美国联邦调查局的数据，2022年与天气相关的事件足以宣布发生灾难 应急管理机构(FEMA)。受影响州的五个MWC培训中心能够 用拟议的补充资金提供培训：北达科他州的三个附属部落、大学 伊利诺伊大学、明尼苏达大学、田纳西大学和肯塔基州的YouthBuild Louisville。这个 MWC制定了各种课程，以支持备灾、应对和恢复培训。 通过这些课程提供的培训将导致紧急响应人员、政府工作人员、社区 成员，以及其他正在为未来的风暴和其他灾难做好准备的人。 从2023年8月1日到2025年5月31日，MWC计划向1286名参与者提供81个项目，用于 2022年宣布发生灾害的5个州总共6020个联系小时。计划将是 使用MWC的标准程序进行评估。提供的每个节目都将记录在NIEHS中 工人培训计划数据管理系统。本补充材料支持的培训进展情况 资助情况将在MWC的年度中期报告和最终报告中详细说明。来自经济领域的参与者 弱势群体和在危险材料培训中代表性不足的群体将是关键 为拟议的培训提供更多受众。培训将为工人和社区提供实质性的服务 2022年受灾害影响的中西部成员。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training (MWC) provides model training programs to workers and residents who may be exposed to hazardous substances. This programming is delivered by 13 training centers in 9 states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Eight of the centers are equipment-based centers that focus most strongly on HAZWOPER and related training for workers at designated hazardous waste sites; treatment, storage, and disposal facilities; and in a broad range of emergency response roles. The five remaining centers are community-based centers that focus on helping workers and residents, particularly those from underserved populations, to recognize and react to hazardous materials in their communities. Of the 9 MWC states, 5 (Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Dakota, Tennessee) were impacted severely enough by weather-related events during 2022 that disasters were declared according to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Five of the MWC training centers in the affected states are able to provide training with proposed supplemental funding: the Three Affiliated Tribes in North Dakota, the University of Illinois, the University of Minnesota, the University of Tennessee, and YouthBuild Louisville in Kentucky. The MWC has developed a variety of curricula to support disaster preparedness, response, and recovery training. Training delivery with these curricula will lead to emergency responders, government workers, community members, and others being better prepared for future storms and other disasters. From August 1, 2023 to May 31, 2025, the MWC proposes to deliver 81 programs to 1,286 participants for a total of 6,020 contact hours in the 5 states in which disasters were declared in 2022. Programs will be evaluated using the MWC's standard procedures. Each program delivered will be recorded in the NIEHS Worker Training Program Data Management System. Progress on training supported by this supplemental funding will be detailed in the MWC's annual interim and final reports. Participants from economically vulnerable populations and populations underrepresented in hazardous materials training will be key audiences for the proposed training. The training will provide substantial service to workers and community members in the Midwest who were affected by disasters in 2022.
