Project SEAMIST (South East Area Maritime Industry Safety Training)

项目概要/摘要 美国海运业广泛的供水网络承载着65%以上的 在国内和国内各地运输的产品。美国的每个地区都有补给线 用于运输这些货物的通航水道和/或沿海或内陆港口。到 日期，培训海事行业内和附属的工人，处理危险的 与工人安全、备灾和救灾有关的材料和培训， 被限制。在近十年的时间里，东南地区海事行业安全培训项目 （SEAMIST），一个危险废物工人培训计划（HWWTP）和危险废物项目 材料海运业应对培训倡议（HazMIRTSI），一项危险品防备 灾害培训方案（HPDTP），由与国家 环境健康科学研究所（NIEHS）已经解决了这一未满足的需求。 具体而言，SEAMIST项目为工作可能 使他们在港口接触危险材料。到目前为止，我们已经训练了 约7，000名参与者，记录了近70，000个接触小时，并针对几个 佛罗里达、路易斯安那、弗吉尼亚、亚拉巴马、 密西西比、德克萨斯、格鲁吉亚、南卡罗来纳州、纽约和加州。在此基础上，Project HazMIRTSI培训了大约1，000名第一反应人员，以有效地处理我们的灾难 以及一般民众如何 灾后安全应对并提供清理工作。HazMIRTSI项目将我们的 从海湾和大西洋各州到马萨诸塞州的北方大西洋各州， 康涅狄格州，新泽西，缅因州，特拉华州，宾夕法尼亚州和罗得岛。这两个项目 能够接触到全国范围的受众，并采用了创新的培训方法， 和最先进的技术，具有不断适应和发展课程的灵活性 以满足学员的需求。展望未来，我们的目标是提供安全和危险的 为9 000多名海事工作人员提供英语和西班牙语的备灾培训， 为3 000名熟练的救灾人员提供救灾培训， 为1 000名社区成员提供备灾培训，并继续修订、优化和 加强我们的培训课程和评估协议。这两个项目旨在解决缺乏 为海运业提供经济和专门的培训课程。我们的安全 培训课程减少并可能消除儿童的伤亡率， 海事工作者、社区和灾害期间和之后的应急人员。

Program Summary/Abstract The extensive water networks of the United States maritime industry carry over 65 percent of the products transported in and around the country. Every United States region has supply lines to navigable waterways and/or coastal or inland ports that are used to transport these goods. To date, training for workers within and ancillary to the maritime industry that handle hazardous materials as well as training related to worker safety, disaster preparedness and response have been limited. Over nearly a decade, Project South East Area Maritime Industry Safety Training (SEAMIST), a Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP) and Project Hazardous Material Maritime Industry Response Training Initiative (HazMIRTSI), a Hazmat Preparedness Disaster Training Program (HPDTP), funded by a cooperative agreement with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has addressed this unmet need. Specifically, Project SEAMIST provides health and safety training for personnel whose jobs may bring them into contact with hazardous materials in ports. To date, we have trained approximately 7,000 participants, logging close to 70,000 contact hours and targeting several occupational areas in the maritime industry within Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, New York, and California. Building on this, Project HazMIRTSI trained approximately 1,000 first responders to effectively handle disasters on our waterways, especially involving hazardous waste, as well as the general population on how to safely respond and provide clean-up after disasters. Project HazMIRTSI has extended our presence from the Gulf and Atlantic states to the northern Atlantic states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maine, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Both projects have been able to reach a nationwide audience and have used innovative training approaches and state-of-the-art technologies, with flexibility to continuously adapt and evolve the curriculum to fit the needs of trainees. Going forward, we aim to provide safety and hazardous preparedness training to over 9,000 maritime workers in both English and Spanish, provide disaster response training for 3,000 skilled response personnel, provide new disaster preparedness training for 1,000 community members and continue to revise, optimize and enhance our training curricula and evaluation protocols. Both projects aim to resolve the lack of economical and specialized training courses available to the maritime industry. Our safety training courses reduce and possibly eliminate incidences of injuries and deaths among maritime workers, the community, and responders during and after disasters.
