Project SEAMIST (South East Area Maritime Industry Safety Training)

计划摘要/摘要 美国海运业广泛的水网承载着65%以上的 这些产品在国内和全国各地运输。美国每个地区都有补给线 至用于运输这些货物的通航航道和(或)沿海或内陆港口。至 日期、对海运业内部和附属于处理危险货物的工人的培训 与工人安全、备灾和应对有关的材料和培训 是有限的。近十年来，东南地区海运业安全培训项目 危险废物工人培训计划(HWWTP)和危险废物项目 物资航运业应急培训行动(HASHMIRTSI)--一项防灾措施 灾害培训计划(HPDTP)，由与国家 环境健康科学研究所(NIEHS)已经解决了这一未得到满足的需求。 具体地说，项目SEAMICT为其工作岗位可能 使他们接触港口内的危险物质。到目前为止，我们已经培训了 大约7,000名参与者，记录了近70,000个联系小时，目标是几个 佛罗里达州、路易斯安那州、弗吉尼亚州、阿拉巴马州、 密西西比州、德克萨斯州、佐治亚州、南卡罗来纳州、纽约州和加利福尼亚州。在此基础上，项目 HazMIRTSI培训了大约1,000名急救人员，以有效地处理我们的 航道，特别是涉及危险废物的航道，以及关于如何 灾后安全应对和清理。HazMIRTSI项目已经延长了我们的 从海湾和大西洋国家到北大西洋的马萨诸塞州， 康涅狄格州、新泽西州、缅因州、特拉华州、宾夕法尼亚州和罗德岛州。两个项目 能够接触到全国观众，并使用了创新的培训方法 和最先进的技术，灵活地不断调整和发展课程 以满足受训者的需求。展望未来，我们的目标是提供安全和危险 为9000多名海事工人提供英语和西班牙语准备培训，提供 培训3,000名熟练的救灾人员，提供新的灾难 为1,000名社区成员提供准备培训，并继续修订、优化和 改进我们的培训课程和评估方案。这两个项目都旨在解决缺乏 为海运业提供经济和专门的培训课程。我们的安全 培训课程减少并有可能消除以下方面的伤害和死亡 在灾难期间和灾难后，海事工作人员、社区和应急人员。

Program Summary/Abstract The extensive water networks of the United States maritime industry carry over 65 percent of the products transported in and around the country. Every United States region has supply lines to navigable waterways and/or coastal or inland ports that are used to transport these goods. To date, training for workers within and ancillary to the maritime industry that handle hazardous materials as well as training related to worker safety, disaster preparedness and response have been limited. Over nearly a decade, Project South East Area Maritime Industry Safety Training (SEAMIST), a Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP) and Project Hazardous Material Maritime Industry Response Training Initiative (HazMIRTSI), a Hazmat Preparedness Disaster Training Program (HPDTP), funded by a cooperative agreement with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has addressed this unmet need. Specifically, Project SEAMIST provides health and safety training for personnel whose jobs may bring them into contact with hazardous materials in ports. To date, we have trained approximately 7,000 participants, logging close to 70,000 contact hours and targeting several occupational areas in the maritime industry within Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, New York, and California. Building on this, Project HazMIRTSI trained approximately 1,000 first responders to effectively handle disasters on our waterways, especially involving hazardous waste, as well as the general population on how to safely respond and provide clean-up after disasters. Project HazMIRTSI has extended our presence from the Gulf and Atlantic states to the northern Atlantic states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maine, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Both projects have been able to reach a nationwide audience and have used innovative training approaches and state-of-the-art technologies, with flexibility to continuously adapt and evolve the curriculum to fit the needs of trainees. Going forward, we aim to provide safety and hazardous preparedness training to over 9,000 maritime workers in both English and Spanish, provide disaster response training for 3,000 skilled response personnel, provide new disaster preparedness training for 1,000 community members and continue to revise, optimize and enhance our training curricula and evaluation protocols. Both projects aim to resolve the lack of economical and specialized training courses available to the maritime industry. Our safety training courses reduce and possibly eliminate incidences of injuries and deaths among maritime workers, the community, and responders during and after disasters.
