Hazardous Materials Worker Health and Safety Training (U45)

总体计划摘要/摘要 西部大学联盟(WRUC)培训计划的总体目标是 保护工人和社区不接触危险材料和危险废物； 预防、准备、应对紧急情况/灾害并从中恢复； 在环境领域和建筑业的职业道路。WRUC计划是 通过加州大学洛杉矶分校劳动职业安全和健康中心在美国环保局第九和第X区提供 加州大学伯克利分校劳动职业健康计划(UCLA-LOSH)作为牵头机构 计划(UCB-LOHP)，亚利桑那州立大学富尔顿工程学院， 环境与资源管理项目(ASU)和华盛顿大学 西北职业健康与安全中心(UW)。财团已经开发了模型 计划，并将在未来五年内通过三个NIEH继续这样做 组成部分：危险废物工人培训计划(HWWTP)，危险灾难 备灾培训计划(HDPTP)和环境职业人员培训计划 (东涌污水处理厂)。WRUC将培训15,295名工人和社区成员，共1,250门课程 314,740个联系小时。课程针对危险废物清理工人的危害，并 危险物质处理、储存、运输和处置作业；加强应急响应， 防灾、备灾、应对和恢复活动；并提供工作准备 和生活技能。WRUC将扩大到服务不足的人群；回应新的和 新出现的危险；建设能力以维持培训活动、安全和应急反应 计划；并支持由HAZWOPER培训员和应急人员组成的全国网络。 为加州炼油厂工人和 周边社区可以作为该地区以外的榜样。1)HWWTP活动将 联系到全区11,115名危险材料和废物工人和主管，以及 加强美墨边境、部落之间和#年的应急能力 太平洋群岛。一项气候变化倡议将技术融入到临时工和 大量讲西班牙语的户外工作人员。2)HDPT活动将达到3575名工人 和社区成员通过与阿拉斯加和太平洋地区的部落团体建立伙伴关系 以及与加州的劳工和社区环境正义团体合作，加州是 该国最大的港口复杂，炼油厂和化工设施高度集中。 3)ECWTP在洛杉矶、西雅图和波特兰的活动将培训和安置605名工人 建筑和环境方面的工作。

Overall Program Summary/Abstract The overall goal of the Western Region Universities Consortium (WRUC) training program is to protect workers and communities from exposure to hazardous materials and hazardous waste; to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies/disasters; and to create pathways to careers in the environmental field and construction industry. WRUC programs are delivered in EPA Regions IX and X through the UCLA Labor Occupational Safety and Health Program (UCLA-LOSH) as the lead institution, UC Berkeley's Labor Occupational Health Program (UCB-LOHP), Arizona State University's Fulton Schools of Engineering, Environmental & Resource Management Program (ASU), and University of Washington's Northwest Center for Occupational Health & Safety (UW). The Consortium has developed model programs since 1987 and will continue to do so in the coming five years through three NIEHS components: Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP), Hazard Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP) and Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP). WRUC will train 15,295 workers and community members in 1,250 courses for a total of 314,740 contact hours. Courses address hazards to workers in hazardous waste cleanup and hazmat treatment, storage, transport and disposal operations; strengthen emergency response, disaster prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities; and provide job readiness and life skills. WRUC will expand outreach to underserved populations; respond to new and emerging hazards; build capacity to sustain training activities, safety and emergency response programs; and support a national network of HAZWOPER trainers and emergency responders. A Safe Jobs Safe Communities initiative for California refinery workers and those in surrounding communities can serve as a model beyond the region. 1) HWWTP activities will reach 11,115 hazardous materials and waste workers and supervisors throughout the region and strengthen emergency response capacity on the US-Mexico border, among tribal groups and in the Pacific Islands. A climate change initiative incorporates technology to reach day laborers and the large Spanish-speaking outdoor workforce. 2) HDPT activities will reach 3,575 workers and community members through partnerships with tribal groups in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest and with labor and community environmental justice groups in California, home to the nation's largest ports complex and high concentrations of refineries and chemical facilities. 3) ECWTP activities in Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland will train and place 605 workers in construction and environmental jobs.
