IAFF Hazardous Waste Worker Training

根据NIEHS 2018-2023战略计划，国际消防员协会（IAFF） 寻求并鼓励与具有以下共同目标的组织合作的机会： 保护工人及其社区。建筑环境变得更加复杂， 人口增长、基础设施老化以及整个制造业中复杂化学品的使用增加 流程.此外，工人们还面临着一些新出现的问题，包括职业癌症风险，压力源， 影响行为健康和健康，以及供应商和社区的弹性。 IAFF建议继续其培训计划，以培训工人，跨多个学科，这可能是 要求管理或缓解危险材料事故，以防止与工作有关的伤害， 改善与工人有关健康和安全。IAFF建议提供8名危险材料技术员 和每年八个密闭空间救援班，以及额外的复习培训和培训， 培训员模块，以确保方案的可持续性。在赠款期间，每年将举办16个班， 每年为400名工人提供超过25，600小时的接触时间。IAFF培训有着成功的历史， 开发、更新和提供此类技术培训计划，学生通过率高 率，高评价的调查答复，以及反复积极的第三方计划评论。拟议 培训将面向所有可能负责预防、应对或协助 在恢复危险物质紧急情况时，包括消防和EMS人员、执法人员、紧急 管理和公共卫生官员、工业应急人员以及当地社区合作伙伴。 通过这一持续的合作协议，协会将： 1.利用先进的地理信息系统和协作联系数据库，确定和协调对目标的外联工作 考虑到日益增加的多样性和对得不到充分服务的人口的培训， 2.通过提供更新和改进的课程，提高工人的能力，包括 就重要的新兴主题开展嵌入式培训，以改善工人的整体健康和安全， 鼓励提高工人和社区的复原力。 3.整合新技术（如电子平板电脑、IAFF在线工具和资源库、移动的 热点、基于Web的应用程序等）用于课程交付，确保对所有学生的一致部署 同时也改善了所有学生群体获得技术的机会。 4.采用多个强大的质量保证协议来提供定义的基准和测量培训 有效性IAFF致力于确保培训计划达到并超过NIEHS 最低培训标准文件，使工人具有安全意识和强有力的决策能力 制造者、积极的榜样以及可能在其领域担任工人培训员的人。

In alignment with the NIEHS 2018-2023 Strategic Plan, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) seeks and encourages opportunities to collaborate with organizations that share the common goal of protecting workers and their communities. The built environment has become more complex due to increased population growth, aging infrastructure, and increased use of complex chemicals throughout manufacturing processes. In addition, workers face a number of emerging issues including occupational cancer risks, stressors impacting behavioral health and wellness, and provider and community resiliency. The IAFF proposes to continue its training program to train workers, across multiple disciplines, that may be called on to manage or mitigate hazardous material incidents in order to prevent work-related harm and improve worker-related health and safety. The IAFF proposes to deliver eight Hazardous Materials Technician and eight Confined Space Rescue classes per year, as well as additional refresher training and Train-the- Trainer modules to ensure program sustainment. During the grant period 16 classes will be held each year, providing over 25,600 contact hours to 400 workers annually. The IAFF training has a successful history of development, updating, and delivery of such technical training programs, evidenced by high student pass rates, highly-rated survey responses, and repeated positive third-party program reviews. The proposed training will be accessible to all populations that may be responsible for preventing, responding to, or assisting in recovery of, a HazMat emergency including fire and EMS personnel, law enforcement members, emergency management and public health officials, industrial responders, as well as local community partners. Through this continued cooperative agreement, the IAFF will: 1. Utilize advanced GIS and collaborative contact databases to identify and coordinate outreach to target populations, giving consideration to increasing diversity and training of underserved populations. 2. Enhance the capabilities of workers through the delivery of updated and improved curricula, that includes embedded training on important emerging topics, to improve overall worker health and safety, and encourage increased worker and community resiliency. 3. Integrate new technologies (such as electronic tablets, an IAFF online library of tools and resources, mobile hotspots, web-based applications, etc.) for course delivery, ensuring consistent deployment to all students while also improving access to technology across all student populations. 4. Employ multiple, robust quality assurance protocols to provide defined benchmarks and measure training effectiveness. The IAFF is dedicated to ensuring the training program meets and exceeds the NIEHS Minimum Training Criteria Document resulting in workers who are safety-conscious, strong decision makers, positive role models, and who may serve as worker-trainers in their field.
