Hazmat Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex

 描述（由申请人提供）：国际妇女联合会寻求继续由能源部工人培训员小组在四个目标地点提供能源部现场培训（297个班，5,008名受训人员）。这些地点已全面投入运行，并依赖于现场经验丰富的工人培训师（汉福德、橡树岭和堪萨斯城），而洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室（LANL）则使用经验丰富的当地DOE工人培训师。妇女协会是这些努力的重要伙伴，代表其中三个地点的成员。该中心使用一系列成人教育原则和技术，依靠参与者的知识和经验，以非威胁性和吸引人的方法教授关键原则，激励学员改善他们的工作场所。将提供的课程包括一系列HAZWOPER相关课程，包括为期5天的CERCLA课程（4节课，56名学员）;为转移到监管区域的工人提供的16小时桥梁课程和RCRA课程（13节课，196名学员），所有覆盖的工人每年都要参加8小时的进修课程（78节课，1，630名学员）。汉福德将有呼吸器更新器（59个班，1,003名受训人员），LANL将有坠落保护和密闭空间项目（118个班，1,794名受训人员）。能源部每个地点的工人培训员将提供所有培训，这是承包商和当地工会的一个具有成本效益的资源，将为119名培训员提供11个课程。此外，我们将进行能源部培训师交流，参加多个受资助者能源部培训师会议，并继续与其他受资助者开展合作。我们将继续我们的社区外展工作，需要大大扩大。我们将继续通过对参与者和培训师的长期评估来评估该计划所产生的工作场所变化。初步数据表明，培训员已成为宝贵的资源，同事和管理人员经常就健康和安全问题的适当做法、程序和设备征求他们的意见（至少每月一次），通过培训员的努力，工作场所发生了各种变化。其他工人通常会向培训师询问化学品、消毒剂、手套和其他防护服和消毒剂的毒性影响。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This ICWU seeks to continue the DOE site training delivered by teams of DOE worker trainers at the four targeted sites (297 classes to 5,008 trainees). These sites are fully operational and rely on onsite experienced worker trainers (Hanford, Oak Ridge and Kansas City) while Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) utilizes an experienced local DOE worker trainer. The IAMAW is a significant partner in these efforts representing members at three of these sites. The Center uses a range of adult education principles and techniques that rely on the knowledge and experiences of the participants to teach key principles in a non-threatening and engaging method that motivates trainees to improve their worksites. Classes to be presented include a range of HAZWOPER related classes including 5 day CERCLA course (4 classes; 56 trainees); 16-Hour Bridge classes for workers transferring into regulated areas and RCRA classes (13 classes, 196 trainees) with all covered workers taking an eight hour refresher class annually (78 classes, 1,630 trainees). There will be respirator refreshers at Hanford (59 classes, 1,003 trainees) and fall protection and confined space programs at LANL (118 classes; 1,794 trainees). DOE worker-trainers from each site will deliver all training, a cost-effective resource to the contractor and local union an there will be 11 classes for 119 trainers. In addition, we will conduct a DOE trainers' exchange and participate in a Multi Grantee DOE Trainers Meeting and continue our collaborative work with other Grantees. We will continue our community outreach efforts that need to be significantly expanded. We will continue to assess the workplace changes the program has produced through the long term evaluation of participants and trainers. Preliminary data show that the trainers have become invaluable resources that co-workers and managers frequently request their opinion on the appropriate practices, procedures and equipment about health and safety concerns (at least monthly) and that a variety of workplace changes have occurred through the trainers' efforts. Trainers are commonly asked by other workers about toxic effects of chemicals, respirators, gloves and other protective clothing and respirators.
