Hazardous Materials Worker Health and Safety Training (U45)

计划摘要/摘要 西部大学联盟(WRUC)培训计划的总体目标是 保护工人和社区不接触危险材料和危险废物； 预防、准备、应对紧急情况/灾害并从中恢复； 在环境领域和建筑业的职业道路。WRUC计划是 通过加州大学洛杉矶分校劳动职业安全和健康中心在美国环保局第九和第X区提供 加州大学伯克利分校劳动职业健康计划(UCLA-LOSH)作为牵头机构 计划(UCB-LOHP)，亚利桑那州立大学富尔顿工程学院， 环境与资源管理项目(ASU)和华盛顿大学 护理学院(UW)。该联盟自1987年以来一直在开发示范方案，并将 在未来五年继续通过NIEHS的三个组成部分做到这一点：危险废物 工人培训计划(HWWTP)、防灾培训计划 (HDPTP)和环境职业工作者培训计划(ECWTP)。WRUC将进行培训 每年参加367门课程的4891名工作人员和社区成员，共49,663名联系人 几个小时。课程涉及危险废物清理和危险物质处理中对工人的危害， 储存、运输和处置业务；在医疗保健中促进生物安全准备 加强应急、防灾、备灾、应对和保障 恢复活动；并提供工作准备和生活技能。WRUC将扩大外展范围至 服务不足的人群；应对新的和新出现的危险；建设能力以维持 培训活动、安全和应急方案；并支持一个国家网络 HAZWOPER培训员和应急人员。1)HWWTP活动将达到2887个 该地区每年的危险材料和废物工人和监督员，以及 加强西南太平洋边远部落群体的应急能力 西北和阿拉斯加以及美墨边境沿线。2)HDPTP活动将达到1814 每年通过与工人中心、工会和 加州的社区团体，华盛顿和加州的学校和大学校园， 以及阿拉斯加和太平洋西北部的部落团体。3)ECWTP在洛杉矶的活动， 波特兰和阿拉斯加每年将培训和安置190名建筑和 环保工作。

Program Summary/Abstract The overall goal of the Western Region Universities Consortium (WRUC) training program is to protect workers and communities from exposure to hazardous materials and hazardous waste; to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies/disasters; and to create pathways to careers in the environmental field and construction industry. WRUC programs are delivered in EPA Regions IX and X through the UCLA Labor Occupational Safety and Health Program (UCLA-LOSH) as the lead institution, UC Berkeley’s Labor Occupational Health Program (UCB-LOHP), Arizona State University’s Fulton Schools of Engineering, Environmental & Resource Management Program (ASU), and the University of Washington School of Nursing (UW). The Consortium has developed model programs since 1987 and will continue to do so in the coming five years through three NIEHS components: Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP), Hazard Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP) and Environmental Career Worker Training Program (ECWTP). WRUC will train 4,891 workers and community members per year in 367 courses for a total of 49,663 contact hours. Courses address hazards to workers in hazardous waste cleanup and hazmat treatment, storage, transport and disposal operations; promote biosafety preparedness among healthcare workers; strengthen emergency response, disaster prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities; and provide job readiness and life skills. WRUC will expand outreach to underserved populations; respond to new and emerging hazards; build capacity to sustain training activities, safety and emergency response programs; and support a national network of HAZWOPER trainers and emergency responders. 1) HWWTP activities will reach 2,887 hazardous materials and waste workers and supervisors throughout the region per year and strengthen emergency response capacity among remote tribal groups in the Southwest, Pacific Northwest and Alaska and along the U.S.-Mexico border. 2) HDPTP activities will reach 1,814 workers and residents per year through partnerships with worker centers, labor unions, and community groups in California, schools and university campuses in Washington and California, and tribal groups in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. 3) ECWTP activities in Los Angeles, Portland, and Alaska will train and place 190 workers per year in construction and environmental jobs.
