项目摘要

The Sustainable Workplace Alliance (SWA) and its alliance partners will provide model training to better protect workers in underserved communities that have been negatively impacted by pollution, blight and emergency events. These vulnerable populations are unlikely to know their rights to a safe workplace, the inherent risks of the work they do, the dangers of misuse of opioids, the hazards created by pollution or hazardous materials, and the most effective ways to protect themselves from these harms. Our aim is to assist communities traditionally overburdened by economic distress and exposures to hazardous environmental conditions by providing environmental, health and safety related training and job placement services. By assisting these citizens, we can promote economic development, address health disparities, and advance environmental justice in these disadvantaged communities which will enable these citizens to participate in addressing the needs of their communities in a more meaningful way. SWA and its alliance partners will focus is on English and Spanish-speaking populations in Florida, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and the Pacific Island regions including Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa and Palau. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, worker populations in our geographic targets include over 83,600 workers in construction (hazardous materials removal and laborer). Over the five years duration of the ECWTP project, SWA will conduct 240 classes, train 260 students and cover 35,880 contact hours of training. 200 graduates will be placed in viable and sustainable environmental jobs. Students would typically be employed as remediation contractors, site demolition workers, debris removal and post-emergency cleanup workers; laborers who work with mold, asbestos, and lead-based paint; and abatement workers performing work at Superfund or brownfield sites. This model training and outreach program is designed to reduce injuries and death has an obvious positive effect on public health. Secondly, by placing disadvantaged citizens in viable jobs in the environmental and construction industries, both emotional and economic well-being will improve for the student, their family and their community.

可持续工作场所联盟(SWA)及其联盟伙伴将提供模型培训为了更好地保护服务不足的社区中受到污染、枯萎病和紧急事件。这些脆弱的人群不太可能知道他们的安全工作场所的权利，他们所做工作的固有风险，滥用阿片类药物，污染或危险材料造成的危害，以及保护自己免受这些伤害。我们的目标是帮助传统上因经济困境和通过提供环境、健康和安全来暴露在危险环境条件下相关的培训和就业介绍服务。通过帮助这些公民，我们可以促进经济发展，解决健康差距，促进这些地区的环境正义这将使这些公民能够参与解决以更有意义的方式满足其社区的需求。 SWA及其联盟伙伴将把重点放在讲英语和西班牙语的人口上佛罗里达州、波多黎各、美属维尔京群岛和太平洋岛屿地区，包括夏威夷、关岛、塞班岛、美属萨摩亚和帕劳。根据劳工统计局的数据，工人我们地理目标中的人口包括超过83,600名建筑工人(危险材料搬运和劳动力)。在ECWTP项目的五年期间，SWA将举办240个班级，培训260个学员人数为35,880人，培训时长为35,880小时。200名毕业生将被安置在可行的和可持续的环境工作。学生通常会被雇佣为补救承包商，现场拆除工人，清理废墟和紧急清理工作的工人；与霉菌、石棉、和含铅油漆；以及在超级基金或棕地工地工作的减排工人。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。其次，通过将弱势公民安置在有生存能力的环境和建筑行业的工作，无论是情绪上还是经济上将对学生、他们的家庭和他们的社区有所改善。
