LIUNA Training and Education Fund Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program and Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program

 描述(由申请人提供)：环境修复、拆除和灾难现场的工人面临已知和未知污染物和危险的健康和安全威胁。新兴产业(例如水力压裂)和不断变化的就业条件(例如气候变化的影响)构成了新的威胁。从事这些工作的工人需要接受培训，以保护他们自己、社区和环境。培训不仅可以减少工作现场的事故、伤害和死亡，而且还是各种政府法规所要求的。根据拟议的HWWTP和HDPTP，LIUNA培训和教育基金(LIUNA培训)将提供培训，以帮助工人识别工作现场的危险；保护他们自己、社区和环境；为意外的工作现场事故做好准备，并支持灾难应对行动。目标工人执行各种工作任务，如控制废物、减少和清除废物、拆除建筑物、维护和安装下水道和管道、重建和翻新，以及在可能发生污染物的区域(如隧道、道路)进行施工。附属培训地点将进行工人培训。其他学科专家将与LIUNA就项目质量保证、健康和安全问题、科学和技术进步以及向劳动力培训界传播示范项目的努力进行合作。培训将针对建筑技工学徒和旅行工人，以及其他建筑行业、环境承包商和适当的政府人员。特别外展将针对少数群体、弱势群体和不会说或不会说英语的工人。由于在全国各地都发现了污染场地和高风险的工作场所，美国各地的26个合作伙伴培训地点将提供培训。重点将是提供培训，以满足每个计划地点的雇主和工人的需求，并帮助工人为其所在地区可能发生的事件做好准备。LIUNA培训和合作伙伴将在第一个方案年提供491个培训周，约15,313名学员，在其余四年提供类似水平的培训。培训可以包括危险废物工人和进修员、微生物补救、所需的密闭空间许可证、呼吸保护和其他环境保护、健康和安全课程。助学金计划还将提供和促进：教师发展和认证、雇主和劳动力培训合作、工人职业发展和基于能力的证书、有效的培训模式和教学最佳实践。与合作伙伴、行业和其他劳动力发展组织的合作努力将有助于推动培训需求和创新，并将提高HWWTP和HDPTP工作的整体质量和效率。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Workers on environmental remediation, demolition, and disaster sites face health and safety threats from known and unknown contaminants and hazards. Emerging industries (e.g. fracking) and evolving job conditions (e.g. impacts from climate change) pose new threats. Workers on these jobs need training to protect themselves, the community, and the environment. Training not only reduces job site accidents, injuries, and fatalities, but it is also required under various government regulations. Under the proposed HWWTP and HDPTP, LIUNA Training and Education Fund (LIUNA Training) will provide training to help workers identify job site hazards; protect themselves, the community and the environment; prepare for unanticipated job site incidents, and support disaster response actions. Targeted workers perform a variety of job tasks, such as waste containment, reduction, and removal, building demolition, sewer and pipeline maintenance and installation, reconstruction and renovation, and construction in areas where contaminants may occur (e.g. tunnels, roadways). Affiliated training sites will conduct the worker training. Other subject matte experts will collaborate with LIUNA Training on program quality assurance, health and safety issues, scientific and technological advances, and efforts to disseminate model programs to the workforce training community. Training will target Construction Craft Laborer apprentices and journey workers, and other construction trades, environmental contractors and government personnel when appropriate. Special outreach will target minority, disadvantaged and non- or limited-English speaking workers. Since contaminated sites and high risk jobsites are found throughout the country, training will be provided by 26 partner training sites located throughout the U.S. Emphasis will be placed on providing training to meet employer and worker needs in each program location and on preparing workers for possible events in their geographic region. LIUNA Training and partners will provide 491 training weeks with approximately 15,313 trainees during the first program year and similar levels during the remaining four years. Training may include Hazardous Waste Worker and Refresher, Microbial Remediation, Permit Required Confined Space, Respiratory Protection and other environmental protection and health and safety courses. The grant programs will also provide and promote: instructor development and certification, employer and workforce training collaboration, worker career development and competency-based credentials, effective training models, and instructional best practices. Collaborative efforts with partners, industry, and other workforce development organizations will help advance training needs and innovations and will improve overall quality and effectiveness of the HWWTP and HDPTP efforts.
