Training At-Risk Industrial, Telecommunication and Immigrant Workers on How to Protect Themselves from Exposure to Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste Products

 描述(由申请人提供)：钢铁工人慈善和教育组织(SCEO)，美国钢铁工人联合会(USW)的非营利性(501c3)分支机构，正在申请HWWTP、HDPTP和ECWTP资金，以支持一个培训伙伴关系，将美国两个最大的工业工会与迅速扩大的移民工人中心联系起来。托尼·马佐奇中心(TMC)是SCEO的培训实体，它将联合工会、美国通信工人协会(CWA)、劳工研究所(LI)和国庆劳工组织网络(NDLON)聚集在一起，并使道路纽约(MRNY)。在接下来的五年里，通过这三份意见书，TMC将为超过65,000名工人和社区居民提供超过950,000小时的培训，以帮助防止有毒物质的释放、火灾、爆炸、伤害、疾病和死亡。通过我们建议的HWWTP五年计划，我们将举办2,745个课程，将为55,950名工人、管理人员和社区居民提供633,700小时的培训。为了防止伤亡、疾病和危险物质的释放，我们将重点针对H&S委员会成员和其他积极分子提供WTP培训和指导，他们能够帮助美国数以百计的工作场所和社区实现具体和持久的制度变革。对于我们的工人中心合作伙伴，重点将是为移民临时工和临时工建立强大且广泛分布的H&S培训能力(英语和西班牙语)，他们在不断变化的工作场所面临无数危险。HDPTP计划将建立一支由培训员(专门的应急培训师-SERTS)组成的多语言团队，他们准备随时前往任何地方，为从事大规模人为或与天气有关的灾害的应急和清理工作人员和社区成员提供培训。为了实现这一目标，将极大地增加西班牙语OSHA认证的高级培训师的供应，他们可以教授与HWWTP有关的所有OSHA课程。我们还将成立SERTS传染病工作组，提供有关穿脱高级防护服和正确使用相关设备的培训专业知识，以保护医疗保健和危险废物工作者。我们的HDPTP计划将提供400门课程，为9,050名高危工作者和社区居民提供119,000小时的联系时间。在ECWTP计划中，我们将支持和加强由纽约州皇后区和布鲁克林的MRNY以及宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的A.Philip Randolph Institute(APRI)实施的劳动力发展计划，以将失业和未充分就业的工人安置在建筑、环境清洁和其他绿色工作中的体面薪酬职业中。在获奖期间为多达450名工人提供了15周的培训后，我们将为其中至少75%的参与者安排良好的绿色工作。目标人群：TMC可以接触到位于美国各州以及波多黎各、关岛和维尔京群岛的设施中的120多万USW/CWA工作人员和管理人员。他们在石油、化工、核能、制药、纸浆、造纸、汽车零部件、家电制造、水泥、金属制造、建筑、橡胶、塑料、造船、轻工、电信、交通、电气制造和医疗保健领域工作。其中大约850,000名工人可能接触到OSHA标准29 CFR 1910、EPA 40 CFR 311和DOT 49 CFR 171-177所涵盖的危险物质。我们将接触到的日工和临时工受雇于几乎所有类型的清理活动，特别是在紧急情况下，除了建筑、洗车、清洁、家庭护理、仓储和分发之外。MRNY在纽约的布什威克、杰克逊高地、里士满港、米德兰海滩和长岛布伦特伍德的中心拥有超过16,000名成员。它正在新泽西州、康涅狄格州和宾夕法尼亚州开设新的中心。NDLON是一个由15个州的45个临时工组织组成的网络，据估计，全国每天约有5000名工人通过其中心。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Steelworkers Charitable and Educational Organization (SCEO), the non-profit (501c3) arm of the United Steelworkers (USW), is applying for HWWTP, HDPTP and ECWTP funds to support a training partnership linking two of the largest U.S.-based industrial unions with rapidly expanding immigrant worker centers. The Tony Mazzocchi Center (TMC), the SCEO's training entity, brings together the USW, the Communications Workers of America (CWA), the Labor Institute (LI), and the National Day Labor Organizing Network (NDLON) and Make the Road New York (MRNY). In the next five years through these three submissions, the TMC will provide more than 65,000 workers and community residents with over 950,000 hours of training to help prevent toxic releases, fires, explosions, injuries, sickness and death. Through our proposed HWWTP five-year program, we will conduct 2,745 courses that will reach 55,950 workers, managers and community residents with 633,700 hours of training. To prevent fatalities, injuries, illnesses and releases of hazardous substances, we will focus WTP training and mentoring on H&S committee members and other activists who are in a position to help achieve concrete and lasting institutional changes at hundreds of U.S. worksites and communities. For our worker center partners, the focus will be on building a robust and widely dispersed H&S training capacity (in English and Spanish) for immigrant day-laborers and temporary workers who face a myriad of hazards on their ever-shifting worksites. The HDPTP program will establish a multi-lingual team of trainers (Specialized Emergency Response Trainers - SERTs) who are prepared to go anywhere at any time to provide training to emergency response and clean-up workers and community members engaged in massive man-made or weather-related disasters. To achieve this goal will dramatically increase the supply of Spanish language OSHA-certified Master Trainers who can conduct the full-range of HWWTP-related OSHA courses. We also will establish a SERTs infectious diseases working group to provide training expertise on donning and doffing high-level protective clothing and the proper use of related equipment to protect health care and hazardous waste workers. Our HDPTP program will offer 400 classes that will provide 9,050 at-risk workers and community residents with 119,000 contact hours. In the ECWTP program we will support and enhance workforce development programs conducted by MRNY in Queens and Brooklyn, NY, and the A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI) in Pittsburgh, PA to place unemployed and underemployed workers in decent-paying occupations in construction, environmental cleanup and other green jobs. After providing 15 weeks of training for up to 450 workers over the term of the award, we will place at least 75 percent of these participants in good green jobs. Target Populations: The TMC has access to over 1.2 million USW/CWA workers and managers at facilities located in each U.S. state as well as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. They work in oil, chemical manufacturing, nuclear energy, pharmaceuticals, pulp, paper, automobile parts, appliance manufacturing, cement, metal manufacturing, construction, rubber, plastics, shipbuilding, light manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, electrical manufacturing and health care. Approximately 850,000 of these workers are potentially exposed to hazardous substances covered by OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910, EPA 40 CFR 311, and DOT 49 CFR 171-177. The day laborers and temporary workers we will reach are employed in virtually every kind of clean-up activity, especially during emergencies, in addition to construction, car washes, cleaning, home care, warehousing and distribution. MRNY has over 16,000 members at its centers in New York in Bushwick, Jackson Heights, Port Richmond, Midland Beach, and Brentwood, Long Island. It is opening new centers in NJ, CT and PA. NDLON is a network of 45 day-laborer organizations in fifteen states and it estimates that approximately 5,000 workers pass through its centers nationwide each day.
