Hazmat Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex

描述(由申请人提供)： 国际消防员协会要求在初始预算期间支付671,680美元的直接费用和53,734美元的F&A费用，并为美国能源部核武器复合体合作协议的危险物质训练的整个项目期申请3,566,045美元的直接费用和285,284美元的F&A费用。LAFF提议继续其培训计划，在专业课程中培训消防员，主要是通过直接交付计划培训到危险物质技术员级别。老挝消防部队将在全国范围内培训更多的消防员，培训内容包括老挝消防部队已经开发的其他专业课程。LAFF将使用已被证明有效的现有课程来培训消防员，根据需要进行课程修订，以达到并超过最新的国家共识标准和联邦标准和法规。除了危险物质，培训的重点将围绕健康和安全，目的是让学生在培训后安全有效地履行职责。虽然LAFF/DOE培训的主要重点将是在能源部现场150英里范围内，但LAFF将进一步扩大培训半径，以满足急救人员的需求。这一扩大的半径将使可能通过紧急管理援助契约(EMAC)被派往特定能源部设施的响应人员做好更好的准备。EMac成立于1996年，是成员国之间的互助协议和伙伴关系。EMac为各州提供了一个响应性和直截了当的系统，以派遣人员和设备帮助其他州的救灾工作。当资源不堪重负时，EMAC帮助填补短缺。EMac允许各州在任何类型的紧急情况下根据需要请求援助。根据能源部清理现场带来的风险和脆弱性，来自周边州和全国各地的人员很有可能对涉及我们的能源部合作伙伴之一的大规模灾难做出反应。 能源部网站对响应人员构成了独特而重大的威胁。据估计，参与危险物质应对的36%的消防部门没有对其应对人员进行正式培训。2008年，114名消防员因公殉职。这些统计数据将急救人员置于极大的风险之中，并强调需要重新提供资金，以培训急救人员使用危险材料，重点是健康和安全。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Association of Fire Fighters (lAFF) is requesting $671,680 direct cost and $53,734 F&A during the initial budget period and $3,566,045 direct costs and $ 285,284 F&A for the total project period of the HAZMAT Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex Cooperative Agreement. The lAFF proposes to continue its training plan to train fire fighters in specialty courses, primarily to the hazmat technician level through direct delivery programs. The lAFF will train additional fire fighters nationwide, in other specialized course curricula already developed by the lAFF. The lAFF will use existing curricula, already proven to be effective, to train fire fighters, conducting curricula revisions as necessary to meet and exceed updated national consensus standards and federal standards and regulations. Aside from hazardous materials, the focus of the training will revolve around health and safety, with the intent that students will perform their duties in a safe and effective manner after training. While the primary focus of the lAFF/DOE training will be within 150 miles of a DOE site, the lAFF will expand the training radius even further to meet the needs of first responders. This expanded radius will better prepare responders who may be dispatched to a specific DOE facility through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). EMAC, established in 1996, is a mutual aid agreement and partnership between member states. EMAC offers a responsive and straightforward system for states to send personnel and equipment to help disaster relief efforts in other states. When resources are overwhelmed, EMAC helps to fill the shortfalls. EMAC allows states to ask for assistance as needed for any type of emergency. Based on the risk and vulnerability posed by DOE cleanup sites, there is a strong possibility that personnel from surrounding states as well as states located across the country could respond to a large scale disaster involving one of our DOE partners. DOE sites pose unique and significant threats to responders. An estimated 36% of fire departments involved in hazmat response do not provided formal training to their responding personnel. In 2008,114 fire fighters were killed in the line of duty. These statistics place first responders at great risk, and underscore the need for renewed funding to train first responders in hazardous materials, with a focus on health and safety
