Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training

项目总结/摘要 中西部危险废物工人培训联合会（MWC）提供示范培训计划 可能接触有害物质的工人和居民。该节目由13个 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，主要集中在HAZWOPER 在指定的危险废物场所对工人进行相关培训;处理、储存和处置 设施;并在广泛的应急反应作用。剩下的五个中心是以社区为基础的 中心，重点是帮助工人和居民，特别是那些来自服务不足的人群， 认识并应对社区中的危险材料。 在MWC的9个州中，5个州（伊利诺伊州、肯塔基州、明尼苏达州、北达科他州、田纳西州）受到严重影响 根据美国联邦政府的数据，2022年与天气有关的事件足以宣布灾难 紧急事务管理局（FEMA）。受影响州的五个MWC培训中心能够 提供培训与拟议的补充资金：三个附属部落在北达科他州，大学 明尼苏达大学、田纳西大学和肯塔基州的路易斯维尔青年建设组织。的 MWC开发了各种课程，以支持备灾、救灾和恢复培训。 通过这些课程提供的培训将使应急人员、政府工作人员、社区 成员和其他人为未来的风暴和其他灾害做好更好的准备。 从2023年8月1日到2025年5月31日，MWC计划向1，286名参与者提供81个项目， 在2022年宣布发生灾害的5个州共进行了6 020小时的联络。节目将 使用MWC的标准程序进行评估。每个项目都将记录在NIEHS中 工人培训计划数据管理系统。本补编所支助的培训进展情况 有关拨款的详情，将载于委员会的年度中期及最后报告。经济参与者 在危险材料培训中弱势群体和代表性不足的群体将是关键 建议的培训对象。培训将为工人和社区提供实质性服务 2022年受灾的中西部成员。

PROJECT 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. Of the 9 MWC states, 5 (Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Dakota, Tennessee) were impacted severely enough by weather-related events during 2022 that disasters were declared according to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Five of the MWC training centers in the affected states are able to provide training with proposed supplemental funding: the Three Affiliated Tribes in North Dakota, the University of Illinois, the University of Minnesota, the University of Tennessee, and YouthBuild Louisville in Kentucky. The MWC has developed a variety of curricula to support disaster preparedness, response, and recovery training. Training delivery with these curricula will lead to emergency responders, government workers, community members, and others being better prepared for future storms and other disasters. From August 1, 2023 to May 31, 2025, the MWC proposes to deliver 81 programs to 1,286 participants for a total of 6,020 contact hours in the 5 states in which disasters were declared in 2022. Programs will be evaluated using the MWC's standard procedures. Each program delivered will be recorded in the NIEHS Worker Training Program Data Management System. Progress on training supported by this supplemental funding will be detailed in the MWC's annual interim and final reports. Participants from economically vulnerable populations and populations underrepresented in hazardous materials training will be key audiences for the proposed training. The training will provide substantial service to workers and community members in the Midwest who were affected by disasters in 2022.
