Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training

中西部危险废物工人培训联盟（MWC）建议， 满足可能接触危险材料的工人和社区的需求 在九个州-IL，IN，KY，MI，MN，ND，OH，TN，WI。这支经验丰富、敬业的团队 成功地为危险废物处理厂的工人制定和实施了计划， 场地、处理储存和处置设施，以及应急人员和 为那些在意识和准备方面服务不足的人。 MWC一直在响应新出现的需求。9/11之后，MWC 针对化学、生物和放射性物质的故意释放制定了方案， 材料，以及随后的犯罪现场调查，并需要认识到压力 在响应者中。医院第一接收者和个人防护计划 为可能面临埃博拉风险的卫生保健工作者配备了设备。 我们协助居民建立识别、报告和减少 暴露于工业和移动的源以及其他 社区中的预期和非预期发布;这些计划正在 增强练习，利用技术访问电子资源， 为个人和公共卫生决策提供信息。MWC提供了4579 2010-2014年，在517，836小时的培训期间，为71，567名参与者提供了培训方案。 水力压裂等新行业以及气候导致极端天气的可能性 变化需要准备; MWC已经启动了示范项目， 确定城市和农村的需求，并沿沿着运输巴干石油的铁路线。我们建议 为现场和TSDF工作人员、紧急救援人员和 居民增加识别和补救危害的知识和技能， 在有意和无意的事件中建立备灾能力和复原力。我们将 探索创新的复习培训模式，挑战单一课程 approach.这些创新的循证培训举措将为培训提供信息， 交付，并可能加强现有的示范方案，为工人和社区 居民;这将通过添加或修改现有程序来实现。的MWC 2015-2020年，将在6，273个项目中培训92，819名参与者，培训时间为689，799小时。

The Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training (MWC) proposes to serve the needs of workers and communities potentially exposed to hazardous materials in nine states—IL, IN, KY, MI, MN, ND, OH, TN, WI. This experienced, dedicated group has successfully developed and implemented programs for workers at hazardous waste sites, treatment storage and disposal facilities, and for emergency responders as well as for the underserved in the areas of awareness, and preparedness. The MWC has consistently responded to emerging needs. Following 9/11, the MWC developed programs for intentional releases of chemical, biological and radiological materials, and the subsequent crime scene investigation and need to recognize stress among responders. Programs for hospital first receivers and personal protective equipment are in place for health care workers who may be at risk of Ebola exposure. We have assisted residents in building capacity to recognize, report and reduce exposures to environmental hazards from industrial and mobile sources and other intended and unintended releases in the community; these programs are being augmented with exercises that utilize technology to access electronic resources to find information for personal and public health decision-making. MWC provided 4579 programs to 71,567 participants during 517,836 hours of training, 2010-2014. New industry such as fracking and the potential for weather extremes due to climate change requires preparedness; MWC has initiated demonstration projects to further define urban and rural needs and along rail lines carrying Bakkan oil. We propose to develop additional tools for site and TSDF workers, emergency responders and residents to increase knowledge and skills to identify and remediate hazards, and to build preparedness and resiliency during intentional and unintentional events. We will explore innovative models for refresher training, challenging the single-session approach. These innovative, evidence-based training initiatives will inform training delivery and may enhance existing model programs for workers and community residents; this will be achieved by adding to or modifying existing programs. The MWC will train 92,819 participants in 6,273 programs for 689,799 contact hours, 2015-2020.
