Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program

劳工-AGC教育和培训基金(劳工-AGC)正在申请危险材料工人健康与安全培训合作协议RFA-ES-04-005，以实施危险废物工人培训计划(HWWTP-24,169,912美元)和灾害准备培训计划(HDPTP-2,341,200美元)，在该计划的五年中，总成本为26,511,112美元。劳工-AGC将根据HWWTP培训大约23,000名学员，根据HDPTP培训2,060名学员。劳工-AGC将使用24个固定培训地点和2个流动单位来培训在危险废物地点受雇或有可能在危险废物地点工作的工人，他们在工作中面临接触危险废物的风险，或可能作为灾难现场的技能支持人员(SSP)提供援助。工人们将学会在高度危险的环境中安全工作。受过培训的SSP将学习紧急响应操作的运作方式，了解SSP和其他参与响应的人员的角色，并了解潜在问题和解决问题的适当机制。劳工-AGC的培训将满足工作和法规要求，并在整个补救或紧急响应过程中帮助保护工人的健康和安全。培训包括危险废物工人(超过OSHA和NIEHS最低标准要求) 以及其他环境补救课程、健康和安全培训以及特定的工作技能课程，以满足区域和特定工作现场的需要。培训包括动手练习、基于活动的指导和先进的培训技术。这项全国性的培训计划面向建筑技工、其他建筑行业以及环境承包商和政府人员。特别外联和培训工作将侧重于招聘和留住少数族裔和非或有限说英语的工作人员。环境准备、一般建筑和生活技能培训，以及社区组织提供的社会支持服务，将帮助弱势工人成功培训和保住工作。

Laborers-AGC Education and Training Fund (Laborers-AGC) is applying for the Hazardous Materials Worker Health and Safety Training cooperative agreement, RFA-ES-04-005 to conduct a Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP - $24,169,912) and a Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP - $2,341,200), at a total cost of $26,511,112 over the five years of the program. Laborers-AGC will train approximately 23,000 trainees under the HWWTP and 2,060 trainees under the HDPTP. Laborers-AGC will use 24 fixed training sites and 2 mobile units to train workers who are, or have the potential to be, employed on hazardous waste sites, who are at risk of exposure to hazardous waste on the job, or who may provide assistance as Skilled Support Personnel (SSP) on disaster sites. Workers will learn to work safely in highly hazardous environments. The trained SSP will learn how an emergency response operation functions, understand the roles of SSP and other participating responders, and obtain an awareness of potential problems and appropriate mechanisms for their resolution. Laborers-AGC's training will meet job and regulatory requirements and help protect worker health and safety during the entire remediation or emergency response. Training includes hazardous waste worker (exceeding OSHA and NIEHS Minimum Criteria requirements) and other environmental remediation courses, health and safety training and specific job skills courses as required to meet regional and specific job site needs. Training incorporates hands-on exercises, activity based instruction, and advanced training technologies. This nationwide training program targets Construction Craft Laborers; other building trades; and environmental contractor and government personnel. Special outreach and training efforts will focus on recruitment and retention of minority and non-or limited-English speaking workers. Environmental Preparatory, General Construction, and Life Skills training along with social support services provided by community based organizations will help disadvantaged workers succeed in training and job retention.
