Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training

节目摘要/摘要 中西部危险废物工人培训联盟(MWC)提供示范培训计划 对可能接触危险物质的工人和居民。此节目将在13岁之前交付 9个州的培训中心：伊利诺伊州、印第安纳州、肯塔基州、密歇根州、明尼苏达州、北达科他州、俄亥俄州、田纳西州、 和威斯康星州。其中八个中心是以设备为基础的中心，最关注HAZWOPER 对指定危险废物场所的工人进行相关培训；处理、储存和处置 设施；以及在广泛的应急响应方面的作用。剩下的五个中心以社区为基础 中心的重点是帮助工人和居民，特别是那些来自服务不足的人口，以 在他们的社区中识别危险物质并做出反应。2015-2019年，MWC培训中心 为75,354名学员提供了4,791个项目，接触时间为521,407小时，展示了 财团。 《公约》的长期目标是在整个过程中改善职业和环境健康与安全。 它所服务的地区。在短期内，MWC的目标是为工人建立能力，以改善 工作场所以及工人和居民社区识别、准备和恢复 暴露在环境中。为了实现这一目标，最低工资委员会的总体目标是促进 MWC中心的模范培训计划，支持对不同群体的参与者进行培训 否则，接受足够的危险物质培训，并不断评估和改进 提供MWC的工作人员和社区培训。实现这些目标将使MWC能够继续 制定和实施创新培训，处理阿片类药物和工人健康等新出现的主题，以及 根据需要，将社区复原力培训扩展到更广泛的背景下。 MWC中心经验丰富、富有创造力和敬业精神的培训师已成功培训了数百名 自1987年以来吸引了数千名工人，随着时间的推移，集体培训产出不断增加，并展示了 令人印象深刻的影响。这些中心为工业现场、政府机构、部落的工人提供培训 国家、医疗保健系统和其他地方以及附属于宗教团体的居民、非营利组织和 社区组织和邻里协会。据报道，培训的影响显著 有利于公众健康，特别是在预防和控制危害方面。参与者表示，他们 学习如何更安全地行动，并在培训结束后带着动力回到工作场所和社区 实施新的程序，以便发生根本性的变化。从2020年到2025年，MWC培训中心将 在703,571个联系时间内，总共为82,009名学员提供4,864个项目。

PROGRAM SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training (MWC) provides model training programs to workers and residents who may be exposed to hazardous substances. This programming is delivered by 13 training centers in 9 states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Eight of the centers are equipment-based centers that focus most strongly on HAZWOPER and related training for workers at designated hazardous waste sites; treatment, storage, and disposal facilities; and in a broad range of emergency response roles. The five remaining centers are community-based centers that focus on helping workers and residents, particularly those from underserved populations, to recognize and react to hazardous materials in their communities. From 2015-2019, MWC training centers provided 4,791 programs to 75,354 trainees for 521,407 contact hours, demonstrating the impressive reach of the Consortium. The long-term goal of the MWC is to improve occupational and environmental health and safety throughout the region it serves. In the shorter-term, the MWC's objective is to build capacity for workers to improve the workplace and for communities of workers and residents to recognize, prepare for, and recover from environmental exposures. To achieve this objective, the overall aims for the MWC are to facilitate delivery of model training programs at MWC centers, enable training of diverse groups of participants who will not otherwise receive enough training about hazardous substances, and continually evaluate and improve the delivery of the MWC's worker and community training. Achieving these aims will allow the MWC to continue to develop and implement innovative training, address emerging topics such as opioids and worker health, and extend community resilience training to a broader context as needs arise. The experienced, creative, and dedicated trainers at MWC centers have successfully trained hundreds of thousands of workers since 1987, increasing the collective training output over time and demonstrating impressive impacts. The centers provide training to workers at industrial sites, government agencies, tribal nations, healthcare systems, and elsewhere and to residents affiliated with faith-based groups, non-profit and community organizations, and neighborhood associations. Reported impacts of training demonstrate significant benefits to public health, particularly in the prevention and control of hazards. Participants indicate that they learn how to act more safely, and return to their workplaces and communities after training with a motivation to implement new procedures so that fundamental change will occur. From 2020-2025, MWC training centers will collectively provide 4,864 programs to 82,009 trainees during 703,571 contact hours.
