WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT

新泽西/纽约危险材料工人培训中心自1987年以来一直是NIEHS的获奖者，目前正在为三个方案领域申请资金：EPA-HWWT、MWT和BMWT;每个领域的总成本分别为7，223，310美元、3，800，319美元和3，890，094美元。 对于每个计划领域，拟议的提供者都与目标人群建立了关系，并代表工会、学术界、劳工和公共部门。 该中心的一个主要目标是通过有效的健康和安全培训，预防和减少由于危险废物作业和应急反应过程中的潜在风险而造成的残疾、发病率和死亡率。 此外，该中心还致力于改进数据的系统收集、分析和传播，以增进对联邦第二区各类人口，特别是少数民族健康状况的了解。第二区有数千个联邦和州超级基金场地，清理工作正在规划或进行中，这清楚地表明有大量人口需要健康和安全培训。 EPA-HWWT计划的中心成员包括：新泽西医学和牙科大学、亨特学院、新泽西州警察局、纽约职业安全和健康委员会、纽约木匠劳动技术学院和布法罗大学。 在01年，该中心将举办459个课程，培训10109名从事危险废物现场调查或清理、RCRA/TSD设施操作和应急响应的工人，提供超过100，000个接触小时。MWT和BMWT的计划目标是相似的，准备和安置有色人种在不断扩大的环境清理，评估和建设领域。 这些方案的中心成员是UMDNJ、纽约市环境正义联盟、亨特学院、纽约木匠劳动技术学院和各种社区组织。 这两个项目在目标人群上有很大不同。 在01年，MWT计划将培训来自纽约市地区的25名有色人种年轻人，BMWT将培训来自两个布朗菲尔德场地（即，格伦科夫，纽约州;纽瓦克新泽西州）在一个全面的20周的“学徒前”培训计划，认证他们进行一系列的环境工作。这些课程的毕业生将被安置在环境修复和建筑工作。

The New Jersey/New York Hazardous Materials Worker Training Center, a NIEHS awardee since 1987, is requesting funds for three program areas: EPA-HWWT, MWT and BMWT; total costs for each area are 7,223,310 dollars; 3,800319 dollars; and 3,890,094 dollars respectively. For each program area, proposed providers have established relationships with the target populations and represent unions, academia, labor and the public sector. A major objective of the Center is prevent and reduce disability, morbidity and mortality due to potential risk during hazardous waste operations and emergency response via effective health and safety training. Additionally, this Center aims to improve the systematic collection, analysis and dissemination of data to increase the understanding of health status among various populations, especially minorities, in Federal Region II. The thousands of Federal and State Superfund sites in Region II, where cleanup is either planned or in progress, clearly demonstrate a large population in need of health and safety training. Center members for the EPA-HWWT program include: the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Hunter College, New Jersey State Police, New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health, New York Carpenters Labor Technical College, and the University at Buffalo. In Year 01, the Center will conduct 459 courses to train 10109 workers involved in hazardous waste site investigations or cleanup, operations at RCRA/TSD facilities, and emergency response, providing over 100,000 contact hours. Program objectives for the MWT and BMWT are similar, to prepare and place people of color in the expanding area of environmental cleanup, assessment and construction. Center members for these programs are the UMDNJ, New York City Environmental Justice Alliance, Hunter College, New York Carpenters Labor Technical College, and various Community Based Organizations (CBOs). These two programs differ specifically on their target populations. In Year 01, the MWT program will train 25 young people of color from the New York City area and the BMWT will train 25 people of color from two Brownfield sites (i.e., Glen Cove, NY; Newark NJ) in a comprehensive 20-week "pre apprentice" training program, certifying them to conduct a range of environmental work. Graduates of these programs will be placed in environmental remediation and construction jobs.
