WORKER H&S TRAINING FOR THE DOE NUCLEAR WEAPONS COMPLEX

联合工业，化学和能源工人国际联盟（PACE）正在为美国能源部核武器综合体合作协议申请工人健康和安全培训，费用为7，604，052美元，以开展工人培训计划，保护工人和社区居民免受危险材料的影响，美国能源部管辖范围内的设施的废物操作和事故。 到5年资助期结束时，超过22，800名工人将接受257，000小时的培训（OSHA标准，29 CFR 1910.120（e和q节），使他们能够在紧急情况下保护自己，并实施预防潜在致命事故的战略。 PACE是1999年石油、化学和原子能工人工会（OCAW）和联合造纸工人国际工会（UPIU）合并后成立的新工会。 这两个工会代表了美国一些最危险的工业设施中超过33万名工人。近6,000人在能源部工作。 为此，PACE提出了以下目标：广泛和强化培训：在拟议项目的第一年，PACE计划提供219个课程，为3，958名工人提供46，480个培训接触小时。 计算机设备行动伙伴关系将在随后的四个项目年中每年达到或超过这些培训人数。 这些课程将包括针对危险废物现场工人的40小时一般现场工人培训课程;针对TSD现场工人的24小时意识课程;以及所有现场工人保持其认证所需的年度8小时复习培训。 每年，工人培训员将接受40小时的技术培训。 新举措：PACE提出了四项新举措：1）根据美国能源部对综合安全管理系统（ISMS）计划的要求，我们将在未来5年内建立3个ISMS计划，我们将为所有课程创建3个新的ISMS培训模块; 2）我们将建立自给自足研究和评估项目（SREP）计划，该计划使用工人领导的，以团队为基础的流程来设计和执行评估计划; 3）我们将在5年内举办15个社区/劳工讲习班; 4）我们将充分参与多受赠方培训师，课程和评估计划，该计划汇集了四个受赠方- PACE，ICWUC联盟，运营工程师和保护工人权利中心。 该计划将与一个全国性的支持网络合作，其中包括：劳工研究所，为新倡议提供培训人员、制作材料和指导;洛厄尔的马萨诸塞州大学提供技术援助;新观点咨询集团提供评估支持;以及一个由管理和科学小组委员会组成的咨询委员会。

The Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical, and Energy Workers International Union (PACE) is applying for the Worker Health and Safety Training for the DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex Cooperative Agreement for 7,604,052 dollars to conduct a worker training program that will protect workers and community residents from exposure to hazardous materials, waste operations and incidents at facilities in the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Energy. By the end of the funded 5-year period, more than 22,800 workers will receive 257,000 hours of training (OSHA Standard, 29 CFR 1910.120 (sections e and q) that will enable them to protect themselves during emergencies and to implement strategies to prevent potentially deadly accidents. PACE is the new union formed when the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union (OCAW) and the United Paperworkers International Union (UPIU) merged in 1999. Together, the two unions represent over 330,000 workers at some of the most dangerous industrial facilities in America. Nearly 6,000 work at DOE sites. To do this PACE proposes the following goals: Extensive and Intensive Training: During the first year of the proposed project, PACE intends to deliver 219 classes, reaching 3,958 workers with 46,480 contact hours of training. PACE will meet or exceed these training numbers in each of the succeeding four project years. The classes will consist of 40-hour General Site Worker Training classes for Hazardous Waste Site workers; 24-hour awareness classes for TSD site workers and; the annual 8-hour refresher training required for all site workers to maintain their certification. Each year worker-trainers will receive 40-hours of technical training. New Initiatives: PACE proposes four new initiatives: 1) Following the DOE call for Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) programs we will establish 3 ISMS programs over the next 5 years, and we will create 3 new ISMS training modules for all courses; 2) We will build the Self-sufficiency Research and Evaluation Project (SREP) initiative that uses worker-led, team-based processes to design and carry out evaluation plans; 3) We will conduct 15 Community/Labor workshops over 5 years; 4) We will fully participate in the Multi-Grantee Trainer, Curriculum and Evaluation Initiative that brings together four grantees - PACE, ICWUC Consortium, the Operating Engineers, and the Center to Protect Worker Rights. The program will work with a national network of support that includes: the Labor Institute for support to develop trainers, produce materials and provide guidance for the new initiatives; the University of Massachusetts at Lowell for technical assistance, the New Perspectives Consulting Group for evaluation support; and an advisory board with both management and scientific subcommittees.
