Training At-Risk Workers on the Corona Virus and Bio Safety Hazards

为了应对席卷全国的新冠肺炎疫情，联合威尔士大学托尼·马佐奇中心及其培训伙伴将利用他们在包括传染病在内的健康和安全培训方面的数十年经验，为工人和社区成员提供信息和支持。该计划旨在提供有关疾病传播的信息和减少其影响所需的控制措施。此外，由于物理距离已成为“新常态”的一部分，该计划将包括支持每个培训合作伙伴装备自己，以使用在线和混合形式进行培训。这些模式与我们计划下通常进行的面对面培训不同。这种方法的改变既需要技术升级，也需要一种新的共享材料的方式。这项计划的三个部分包括：培训和外展：-制作和开展关于新冠肺炎及其对工作场所和社区的影响的网络培训-制作和进行关于新冠肺炎的西班牙语培训开发和部署先进技术：-支持TMC及其培训合作伙伴的在线培训平台-购买软件或许可证-购买支持远程学习的培训工具加强特别紧急反应培训(SERTS)计划：-将四名额外的工作人员培训员纳入SERTS团队-关于HAZWOPER和新冠肺炎相关主题的初步培训。

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic that has swept the country, the USW Tony Mazzocchi Center and its training partners will use their decades of experience in health and safety training including infectious disease to provide information and support to workers and community members. The program is designed to provide information on disease transmission and controls necessary to reduce its impact. Additionally, because physical distancing has become part of the “new normal”, this program will include support for each of the training partners to equip themselves to conduct training using both online and blended formats. These modalities differ from the face to face training typically conducted under our programs. The change in approach will require both technological upgrades and a new way of sharing material. The three parts of this program include: Training and Outreach: -Produce and conduct web-based training on COVID-19 and its effect on workplaces and communities -Produce and conduct Spanish language trainings on COVID-19 Developing and Deploying Advanced Technology: -Support online training platforms for the TMC and its training partners -Purchase of software or licenses -Purchase of training tools that support distance learning Strengthening the Special Emergency Response Training (SERTs) Program: -Onboarding four additional worker trainers to the SERTs team -Initial training on relevant topics concerning HAZWOPER and COVID-19.
