Hazardous Material Worker Health and Safety Training (U45) Cooperative Agreement

描述（由申请人提供）： UWUA美国电力培训信托基金（Power 4America）是由美国公用事业工人工会（UWUA）和三个公用事业行业雇主（公用事业线路建设服务公司，国家电网和Entergy）。UWUA代表27个州和维尔京群岛219个地方工会的50 000名公用事业工人，他们受雇于发电（核燃料和化石燃料）;电力输送和分配;天然气输送和分配;以及水处理，分配和净化。Power 4America和劳工研究所（Ll），也是一个501（c）（3）非营利组织，正在向NIEHS申请HWWT/HDPTPP拨款，以培训公用事业工人，以满足OSHA标准29 CFR 1910.120的要求。我们建议修改针对这一人群的现有课程，并开展工人/管理人员培训计划，以保护这些工人/管理人员和社区居民免受公用事业运营产生的危险材料和废物的影响。这项培训将帮助工人和主管在紧急情况下保护自己，并实施战略，以防止可能影响工人和公用事业周围社区的致命事故。20年来，尽管存在29 CFR 1910.120规定的风险，但公用事业行业一直没有获得NIEHS的资助。这是一个严重的问题，也是一个需要消除的障碍。工人需要接受培训，以便他们能够保护自己和他们工作的社区。该培训旨在使工人做好适当处理危险废物的准备，在应对紧急情况时安全地保护危险废物，以及在远离公用事业的现场工作时意识到潜在的危险。我们还希望在这些公用事业设施中建立一种文化，允许劳资双方建立合作关系，以便在危险成为紧急情况之前识别危险并进行补救。最后，我们希望通过参与培训计划，积极吸引服务不足的社区成员。然后，培训使工人和管理人员有机会相互交流，并开始共同解决这些问题的过程。我们的前提是，在培训期间开始的联合解决问题将继续在工作场所的工人和管理者之间进行。公用事业工人雇主正在与Power 4America和Ll合作，最大限度地提供培训时间以及培训设备和空间。 危险废物工人培训计划（HWWTP）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UWUA Power for America Training Trust Fund (Power4America) is the non-profit (501 c3) joint labor management corporation composed of the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) and three utility industry employers (Utility Lines Construction Services, Inc., National grid, and Entergy). The UWUA represents 50,000 utility workers in 219 local unions in 27 states and the Virgin Islands who are employed in electrical generation (nuclear and fossil fuel); electrical transmission and distribution; gas transmission and distribution; and water treatment, distribution, and purification. Power4America and the Labor Institute (Ll), also a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, are applying to the NIEHS for a HWWT/HDPTPP grant to train utility workers to meet the requirements for OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.120. We propose to modify existing curricula for this population and conduct worker/manager training programs to protect these workers/managers and community residents from exposure to hazardous materials and wastes generated by utility operations. This training will help workers and supervisors to protect themselves during emergencies and to implement strategies to prevent deadly accidents that could impact the workers as well as communities surrounding the utility. The utility industry has been absent from the NIEHS grant picture for twenty years even though exposures under 29 CFR 1910.120 have been present. This is a critical problem and a barrier that needs to be dismantled. Workers need to be trained so that they can protect themselves and the communities in which they work. This training is intended to prepare workers to deal properly with hazardous waste, to defensively secure hazardous waste safely when responding to emergencies, as well as to be aware of potential hazards when working off-site from the utility. We also hope to establish a culture within these utility facilities that allows for a cooperative relationship between labor and management to identify hazards before they become emergencies and to remediate them. Lastly, we hope to actively engage underserved members of the community through involvement in the training program. The trainings then give workers and managers the opportunity to interact with each other and begin the process of solving these problems together. Our premise is that the joint problem solving that begins during the training will continue between workers and managers in the workplace. Utility Worker employers are partnering with the Power4America and the Ll in this grant to the fullest extent, offering trainees time for training as well as equipment and space for the trainings.
