HAZMAT Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex (U45)

描述(由申请人提供)： 国际卡车司机兄弟会(IBT)和国家劳工学院(NLC)正在作为联盟申请美国能源部工人培训补助金项下的资金。培训计划为期5年的总费用为4,308,271美元。该计划的长期目标是提高工人和社区的安全，保护能源部设施，并在能源部场地的修复和放射性废物和危险废物的运输期间保护交通基础设施。IBT-NLC联盟将利用与主要卡车和铁路工会建立的合作伙伴关系，并与8个能源部设施(汉福德能源部现场、内华达州试验场、萨凡纳河能源部现场、橡树岭能源部现场、劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室、能源部土丘现场、UMTRA现场、圣路易斯机场能源部现场)建立关系。该财团计划在5年内培训13,900名工人。培训的目标人群是：1)能源部现场补救工人和监督员；2)参与能源部设施补救的建筑工人和监督员，包括越野和废物运输车司机；3)参与能源部设施化学和放射性废物运输的卡车运输工人和监督员；4)参与能源部设施放射性废物和危险废物运输的铁路工人和监督员。IBT-NLC联盟将提供符合能源部、OSHA和DOT要求的以下课程：危险废物工人、危险废物补给器、应急响应、危险物质安全和安保、放射性材料运输、建筑安全、一般工业安全、呼吸防护、呼吸防护补给器、叉车安全、负载固定。课程将包括使能源部现场工作人员在从事能源部LEED认证项目时能够保护自己的信息。该联盟将通过7个设备齐全的培训中心和NLC设施提供培训，并提供教员在能源部现场和当地工会提供培训。培训将强调参与式成人教学技术；包括大量的实践活动和模拟工作现场活动。所有培训将符合NIEHS工人培训的最低标准以及CFR(DOE)851。IBT-NLC将为处理危险物质和放射性废物的工人提供安全/健康培训。这些工人将拥有从能源部现场安全地清除危险废物和放射性废物的技能，从而将对工人、社区和环境的污染风险降至最低。培训使工人能够对意外释放的危险物质和放射性废物做出反应，采取适当的行动，并限制对周围社区和环境的污染。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) and the National Labor College (NLC) are applying as a consortium for funding under the DOE Worker Training Grant. The total cost of the training program over a 5 year period is $4,308,271. The long term goal of the program is to increase worker and community safety, protect DOE facilities and protect transportation infrastructure during the remediation of DOE sites and the transportation of radioactive waste and hazardous waste. The IBT-NLC consortium will use established partnerships with major trucking and rail unions, and established relationships with 8 DOE Facilities (Hanford DOE Site, Nevada Test Site, Savannah River DOE Site, Oak Ridge DOE Site, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, DOE Mound Site, UMTRA Site, St. Louis Airport DOE Site). The consortium proposes to train 13,900 workers over 5 years. The target population for the training are: 1) remediation site workers and supervisors at DOE sites; 2) construction workers and supervisors involved in the remediation of DOE facilities, including drivers of off road and waste haul vehicles; 3) truck transportation workers and supervisors involved in the transportation of chemical and radioactive waste from DOE facilities; 4) railroad workers and supervisors involved in the transportation of radioactive waste and hazardous waste from DOE facilities. The IBT-NLC consortium will deliver the following courses that meet DOE, OSHA and DOT requirements: HazWaste Worker, HazWaste Refresher, Emergency Response, HazMat Safety and Security, Radioactive Materials Transportation, Construction Safety, General Industry Safety, Respiratory Protection, Respiratory Protection Refresher, Forklift Safety, Load Securement. The curricula will include information that will enable DOE site workers to protect themselves while working on DOE LEED certified projects. The Consortium will deliver training through 7 fully equipped training centers and NLC facilities and provide instructors to present training at DOE sites and local unions. Training will emphasize participatory adult teaching techniques; include significant time for hands-on activities and simulated work site activities. All training will comply with the NIEHS Minimum Criteria for Worker Training as well as CFR (DOE) 851. The IBT-NLC will provide safety/health training to workers who handle hazmat and radiological waste. The workers will have the skills to safely remove hazwaste and radiological waste from DOE sites, thereby minimizing the risk of contamination for workers, the community and environment. The training provides workers with the ability to react to an unexpected release of hazmat and rad waste, take appropriate actions, and limit the contamination of surrounding communities and the environment.
