HAZMAT Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex (U45)

描述（由申请人提供）： 位于缅因州波特兰的环境技术教育伙伴关系（PETE）与位于爱荷华州的危险材料培训和研究所（HMTRI）合作，代表社区学院健康和安全培训联盟（CCCHST）提交本申请，该联盟为美国能源部（DOE）环境恢复和废物管理站点提供服务。CCCHST-DOE的目的是为DOE承包商、分包商和服务于DOE设施且未接受有组织劳工培训的公职人员提供方便、一致且具有成本效益的NIEHS批准的工人培训。五年目标是通过75，000小时的培训，培训至少12，500名工人，技术人员和监督员，以保护他们自己，他们的设施和他们的社区在危险废物场地清理，危险材料运输和应对危险材料释放期间遇到的危险材料。该伙伴关系将服务于以下能源部地点：BWXT潘特克斯，得克萨斯州;帕迪尤卡气体扩散厂，肯塔基州;朴茨茅斯网站，俄亥俄州;橡树岭业务，田纳西州;和萨凡纳河网站，南卡罗来纳州（？）。田纳西州诺克斯维尔的田纳西大学和德克萨斯州阿马里洛的阿马里洛社区学院是在这些地点提供培训的次级获奖者。随着新成员的要求，CCCHST-DOE培训提供者的数量在未来几年可能会增加。PETE是一个全国性的非营利组织，501（c）（3）组织，旨在促进学术，工业和政府的伙伴关系：1）通过社区学院与商业，工业，政府和其他教育提供者的伙伴关系，在环境，健康，安全和能源教育和培训方面发挥领导作用; 2）促进环境技术转让; 3）促进代表性不足的少数民族、美洲原住民和妇女参与环境领域; 4）增强美国经济发展和国际竞争力。PETE继续与HMTRI密切合作，因为它自1993年成立以来一直雇用退休的HMTRI领导管理CCCHST。相关性（参见说明）：在2009财年，CCCHST-DOE共向3，337名学生提供了286门课程，共计32，179小时的教学时间。86名学生完成了在线教学。这是NIEHS资助的少数几个鼓励使用在线培训的培训项目之一。学生和他们的赞助商都表现出对在线培训的接受程度逐渐提高，特别是当它是混合的（在线/现场教学组合）。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Partnership for Environmental Technology Education (PETE), Portland, Maine, in partnership with the Hazardous Materials Training and Research Institute (HMTRI), a current NIEHS awardee located in lowa, submits this application on behalf of the Community College Consortium for Health and Safety Training (CCCHST) serving Department of Energy (DOE) environmental restoration and waste management sites across the United States. The intent of CCCHST-DOE is to provide convenient, consistent, and cost effective NIEHS-approved worker training to DOE contractors, subcontractors and public officials serving DOE facilities and not trained by organized labor. The five-year goal is to train a minimum 12,500 workers, technicians, and supervisors, through 75,000 contact hours of training, to protect themselves, their facilities, and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials encountered during hazardous waste site clean-up, in the transportation of hazardous materials, and in the response to releases of hazardous materials. The partnership will serve the following DOE locations: BWXT Pantex, TX; Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, KY; Portsmouth Site, OH; Oak Ridge Operations, TN; and the Savannah River Site, SC (???). The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, and Amarillo Community College, Amarillo, Texas are sub-awardees delivering training at these sites. The number of CCCHST-DOE training providers may increase in future years as new members request participation. PETE is a national non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization established to facilitate academic, industrial, and governmental partnerships to: 1) provide leadership in environmental, health, safety and energy education and training through community college partnerships with business, industry, government, and other educational providers; 2) promote environmental technology transfer; 3) foster the participation of underrepresented minorities, Native Americans, and women in environmental fields; and 4) enhance U.S. economic development and international competitiveness. PETE continues to work closely with HMTRI as it has since its inception in 1993 and employs retired HMTRI leadership to administer CCCHST. RELEVANCE (See instructions): In FY '09, CCCHST-DOE collectively delivered 286 courses to 3,337 students for a total 32,179 contact hours of instruction. Eighty-six students completed instruction online. This is one of few NIEHS-funded training programs that encourage the use of online training. Both students and their sponsors have shown a gradual increase in the acceptance of online training particularly when it is blended (online/live instruction combination).
