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，该中心正在为三个项目领域申请资金：EPA-HWWT、MWT和BMWT；每个领域的总成本分别为7,223,310美元、3,800319美元和3,890,094美元。对于每个方案领域，拟议的提供者都与目标人群建立了关系，并代表了工会、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期间的潜在风险而导致的残疾、发病率和死亡率。此外，该中心旨在改进数据的系统收集、分析和传播，以增进对联邦区II中不同人口，特别是少数民族的健康状况的了解。联邦和州超级基金在II区的数千个地点正在计划或正在进行清理工作，这清楚地表明，有大量人口需要健康和安全培训。EPA-HWWT项目的中心成员包括：新泽西医学和牙科大学、亨特学院、新泽西州警察、纽约州职业安全与健康委员会、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名从事危险废物场地调查或清理、RCRA/TSD设施的操作和紧急反应的工人，提供超过100,000个联系小时。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。这些项目的中心成员包括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(CBO)。这两个方案在目标人群上有明确的不同。在01年，MWT计划将培训25名来自纽约市地区的有色人种年轻人，BMWT将培训来自两个棕地(即纽约州格伦科夫和新泽西州纽瓦克)的25名有色人种，参加为期20周的综合“学徒前”培训计划，以认证他们从事一系列环境工作。这些项目的毕业生将被安置在环境修复和建筑工作中。

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.
