Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program

可持续工作场所联盟(SWA)建议提供模型培训和 向从事应急准备和响应活动的工作人员进行外展。 这项计划的首要目标是通过协助 教导急救人员如何最好地保护自己和社区免受 在应急响应过程中暴露于危险物质。 在过去的七年里，SWA及其联盟伙伴一直在领导危险物质 太平洋大西洋和加勒比培训(太平洋大西洋和加勒比培训)倡议，作为该倡议的继续， 我们将专注于在佛罗里达、波多黎各、美属维尔京群岛和夏威夷提供服务。 此外，我们将为太平洋岛屿的美国领土提供服务，包括美国 萨摩亚、关岛、帕劳和北马里亚纳群岛。这些地点尤其是 易受与恶劣天气有关的紧急情况的影响，再加上气候的影响 变化。我们对其他赠款计划的需求评估确定了其他紧急情况 例如石油泄漏、油罐车倾覆、工厂火灾、氨和氯泄漏以及第一次 急救人员接触阿片类药物是急救人员目前关注的问题，我们将 在这些领域提供培训。根据劳工统计局的数据，工人人口 我们的地理目标包括近94,000名担任急救人员的工人，包括 消防、警察和医护人员。 受训人员通常受雇为消防员(职业和志愿者)，危险应对 团队成员、警察或护理人员。此外，社区应急小组 成员，地方应急计划委员会成员和医院的第一批接受者。 在本灾害准备培训计划(HDPTP)的五年期间， SWA将举办245期课程，培训3,205名应答者，覆盖38,000个联络小时。 这项模范培训和外展计划旨在减少伤害和死亡 对公众健康的积极作用明显。 通过向急救人员和公民应急小组提供HDPTP外展服务，我们将促进 整个社区的复原力，并制定不太可能造成伤害的响应者 他们自己、社区和环境，同时履行他们作为响应者的工作。

The Sustainable Workplace Alliance (SWA) proposes to provide model training and outreach to workers engaged in emergency preparation and response activities. The overarching goal of this program is to prevent work-related harm by assisting in teaching first responders how best to protect themselves and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials during emergency response. For the last seven years, SWA and its alliance partners have been leading the HAZMAT P.A.C.T. (Pacific Atlantic & Caribbean Training) initiative, and as a continuation of that initiative, we will focus on providing outreach in Florida, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Hawaii. Additionally, we will service the U.S. Territories of the Pacific Islands, including American Samoa, Guam, Palau, and the Northern Mariana Islands. These locations are especially vulnerable to severe weather related emergencies compounded by the effects of climate change. Our needs assessments for other grant programs have identified other emergencies such as oil spills, overturned tanker trucks, factory fires, ammonia & chlorine leaks and first responder exposure to opioids as being current concerns for first responders and we will provide training in these areas. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, worker populations in our geographic targets include nearly 94,000 workers serving as first responders, including fire, police and paramedics. Trainees would typically be employed as fire fighters (career and volunteer), HAZMAT response team members, police or paramedics. Additionally, Community Emergency Response Team members, Local Emergency Planning Committee members and first receivers at hospitals. Over the five year duration of this Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP), SWA will conduct 245 classes, train 3,205 responders and cover 38,000 contact hours. This model training and outreach program is designed to reduce injuries and death has an obvious positive effect on public health. By providing HDPTP outreach to first responders and citizen response teams, we will foster whole community resiliency and develop responders that are less likely to cause harm to themselves, the community and the environment while performing their job as a responder.
