Worker Health & Safety Training Cooperative Agreement

描述(由申请人提供) IBT和NLC正在作为联盟申请美国能源部工人培训补助金。长期目标是在能源部场地的修复和从能源部场地运输放射性废物和化学危险废物期间，提高工人和社区的安全，保护能源部的设施和重要的交通基础设施。IBT-NLC联合体将与8个主要的卡车和铁路工会建立合作伙伴关系，并与4个能源部设施(哈默尔、内华达试验场、萨凡纳河、橡树岭)建立关系，在5年内为总共18,860名工人提供培训。目标人群包括：1)能源部设施的补救现场工人和监督员；2)参与能源部设施补救的建筑工人和监督员，包括专业越野和废物运输车的司机；3)从事能源部设施放射性废物和化学危险废物运输的卡车运输工人和监督员；4)参与能源部设施放射性废物和化学危险废物运输的铁路工人和监督员。IBT-NLC联合体将提供以下课程，以满足美国能源部、OSHA和DOT的要求：放射工作者；危险废物工作者；危险废物补给器；认知级紧急反应；危险物质安全和安保；放射性材料运输；建筑安全；呼吸防护；呼吸防护补习器；以及越野和材料运输专用车辆的安全操作。该联盟将通过8个设备齐全的培训中心提供培训，并将提供指导员在能源部项目现场和当地工会提供培训。培训将强调参与式成人教学技术，并将包括大量的实践练习和模拟工作现场活动。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The IBT and NLC are applying as a consortium for a DOE Worker Training Grant. The long-term goal is to increase worker and community safety, protect DOE facilities and protect vital transportation infrastructure, during the remediation of DOE sites and the transportation of radioactive waste and chemical hazardous waste from DOE sites. The IBT-NLC Consortium will use established partnerships with 8 major trucking and railroad unions, and established relationships with 4 DOE facilities (HAMMER, Nevada Test Site, Savannah River, Oak Ridge) to deliver training to a total of 18,860 workers over 5 years. The target population includes, 1) remediation site workers and supervisors at DOE facilities; 2) construction workers and supervisors involved in the remediation of DOE facilities, including drivers of specialized off-road and waste-hauling vehicles; 3) truck transportation workers and supervisors involved in the transportation of radioactive waste and chemical hazardous waste from DOE facilities; 4) railroad workers and supervisors involved in the transportation of radioactive waste and chemical hazardous waste from DOE facilities. The IBT-NLC Consortium will deliver the following courses that fulfill DOE, OSHA and DOT requirements: Radiological Worker; Hazardous Waste Worker; Hazardous Waste Refresher; Awareness-Level Emergency Response; HazMat Safety and Security; Radioactive Materials Transportation; Construction Safety; Respiratory Protection; Respiratory Protection Refresher; and Off-Road and Materials-Hauling Specialized Vehicle Safe Operation. The Consortium will deliver training through 8 fully equipped training centers and will also provide instructors to present training at DOE project sites and local unions. Training will emphasize participatory adult teaching techniques and will include significant time for hands-on practice and simulated work site activities.
