 描述（由申请人提供）：新泽西州/纽约州危险材料工人培训中心有着悠久的有效培训历史，符合OSHA 29CFR1910.120的要求，自1987年以来为超过450，000名工人提供危险材料知识和技能。我们的中心将培训工人在清理危险废物场地时的安全问题，与危险材料的产生，处理和储存有关的问题，以及应急响应。这些课程培养工人批判性地分析危险情况的能力，并使他们能够确定安全的工作实践。成人教育的主要负责人被纳入我们的培训，培训课程的开发，包括同行学习，动手活动，发展批判性思维技能。该中心有一个强有力的评估计划，并将继续扩大收集的数据类型，以了解培训对工作场所实践的影响，以及培训如何更有效地影响工作场所安全文化。该中心正在申请HWWT，ECWT和HDPT计划的资金。HWWT计划的重点是为清理危险废物场地的工人提供全面的培训，参与危险材料的产生，处理和储存，并应对运输和其他紧急情况。在未来五年内，该中心计划在HWWTP培训51，890名工人，开设2，315门课程。ECWTP将利用有针对性的战略，招募、培训和雇用生活在弱势社区的得不到充分服务的居民，从事建筑和环境修复工作。该中心在少数民族和服务不足的社区建立了长期有效的伙伴关系，有助于加强职业健康和工人教育，并减轻社区一级的健康差距。我们的中心包括在环境正义，健康和安全，生活技能培训，准备学员在环境行业的职业生涯。在今后五年中，该中心计划在ECWTP中培训300名工人，开设75门课程。HDPT计划通过为应对灾难的工人提供培训，提高当前危险材料工人和化学品应急人员的安全和健康。这些课程的重点是防灾和备灾，以便救灾人员在开始救灾之前了解安全和健康危险以及减灾技术。在未来五年内，该中心计划在HDPTP的740个课程中培训14 191名工人。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NJ/NY Hazardous Materials Worker Training Center has a long history of effective training that meets the requirements of OSHA 29CFR1910.120, providing hazardous materials knowledge and skills to over 450,000 workers since 1987. Our Center will train workers about safety issues during clean-up hazardous waste sites, issues related to generation, treatment and storage of hazardous materials, and emergency response. The courses develop competency in workers to critically analyze dangerous situations, and enable them to identify safe work practices. Key principals of adult education are incorporated into our training, and training courses are developed to include peer-learning, hands-on activities, and development critical thinking skills. The Center has a robust evaluation plan, and will continue to expand the types of date collected on impact of training on workplace practice, as well as how training can more effectively influence workplace safety culture. The Center is applying for funding for the HWWT, ECWT, and HDPT programs. The focus of the HWWT program is to provide comprehensive training for workers who clean-up hazardous waste sites, are involved in the generation, treatment and storage of hazardous materials, and respond to transportation and other emergencies. Over the next five years, the Center proposes to train 51,890 workers in 2,315 courses in the HWWTP. The ECWTP will utilize focused strategies to recruit, train and employ underserved residents living in disadvantaged communities for construction and environmental remediation work. The Center has long-term, effective partnerships in minority and underserved communities that help reinforce occupational health and worker education, and mitigate health disparities at the community level. Our Center includes training in environmental justice, health and safety, and life skills, preparing trainees for a career in the environmental industry. Over the next five year, the Center proposes to train 300 workers in 75 courses in the ECWTP. The HDPT program enhances the safety and health of current hazardous materials workers and chemical responders by delivering training to workers responding to disaster. These courses focus on prevention and preparedness so that disaster response personnel are aware of safety and health hazards and mitigation techniques before they initiate a disaster response. Over the next five years, the Center proposes to train 14,191 workers in 740 courses in the HDPTP.
