Worker Health and Safety Training Cooperative Agreement

描述(由申请人提供) IAFF在初始预算期间申请3,017,739美元(2,796,218美元直接费用和221,521美元F&A)，为《工人健康与安全培训合作协议》项目总期间申请16,013,182美元(14,837,094美元直接费用和1,176,088美元F&A)。IAFF的申请包括四个计划领域中的两个：危险废物工人培训计划(HWWTP)和灾害准备培训计划(HDPTP)。 此应用程序解决了9·11事件及其后果引起的两个严重的紧急响应人员需求。袭击的一个主要结果是成立了国土安全部(DHS)。国土安全部颁布了新的要求，其中之一是国家事件管理系统(NIMS)。他们还对资金提出了新的要求，这反过来又导致应急响应社区的培训严重短缺。 为了在这一新环境中有效运作，应急人员需要事故指挥、大规模事故的安全管理培训和高级培训，特别是技术员一级的培训。在合作协议的每一年，申请者将在技术员课程和培训员培训课程中平均培训1000名学生。他们还将向平均750名学生提供经过调整的事件管理课程，该课程强调灾害应对期间的安全管理。 国际消防联合会建议实施一项行之有效的培训计划，大力强调职业安全和健康以及职业安全与健康管理局定义的响应者培训，以此作为专业和有效的应急反应的基石。该计划在很大程度上依赖于直接授课和高效的培训员培训相结合的方法；使用互联网、高级培训技术(ATT)和区域计划的组合；并为估计的参与者提供安全和有效操作所需的知识和工具。这些计划有助于确保应急人员在9/11事件后的环境中安全运作。 危险废物工人培训计划(HWWTP)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The IAFF is requesting $3,017,739 ($2,796,218 direct costs and $221,521 F&A) during the initial budget period and $16,013,182 ($14,837,094 direct costs and $1,176,088 F&A) for the total project period of the Worker Health and Safety Training Cooperative Agreement. The IAFF application includes two of the four program areas; Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP) and Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP). This application addresses two serious emergency responder needs arising out of the events and aftermath of September 11th. A major outcome of the attacks was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS has promulgated new requirements, one of which is the National Incident Management System (NIMS). They also created new requirements for funding which, in turn, are causing a significant training shortfall in the emergency response community. In order to operate effectively in this new environment, emergency responders require incident command, safety management training at large-scale incidents and advanced training, especially at the Technician level. Each year of the cooperative agreement, the applicant will train an average of 1,000 students in the technician curriculum and train-the-trainer courses. They will also reach an average of 750 students with an adapted incident management course which emphasizes safety management during disaster response. The IAFF proposes to implement a proven training plan that strongly and forcefully emphasizes occupational safety and health and OSHA-defined responder training as a cornerstone of professional and effective emergency response. This plan relies heavily on a combination of direct delivery and the efficient train-the-trainer approach; uses a combination of the Internet, Advanced Training Technologies (ATT) and regional programs; and provides the estimated attendees with the knowledge and the tools necessary to operate safely and effectively. These programs help to ensure that emergency responders operate safely in the post 9/11 environment. Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP)
