Johns Hopkins ERC - Hazardous Substance Training (HST)

描述(由申请人提供)：有害物质培训(HST)继续教育计划是约翰霍普金斯职业安全与健康教育和研究中心(ERC)内的一项跨学科努力，建立在继续教育和外联计划的优势之上。职业与环境健康护理、职业与环境医学以及职业与环境卫生等ERC核心课程的教师也在该课程中发挥了关键作用。HST计划的长期目标如下：制定和实施一项指导计划，从2012年7月1日至10月6日开始实施；与负责清理、执行和培训处理危险物质的人员的机构协调培训活动；为参与评估、管理和处理危险物质的私人、州和地方健康和环境专业人员实施基于网络的模块、短期课程和继续教育计划；并进行评估，以证明该地区对培训专业人员的需求得到满足。所有职业健康和环境人员必须做好充分准备，以便根据他们的培训水平评估、管理和/或处理危险物质和自然灾害。HST计划将为来自不同部门的公共卫生专业人员提供制定保护人员、财产和环境战略所需的技能。9/11恐怖袭击和卡特里娜飓风等自然灾害证明了危险物质培训与公共卫生的相关性。为了应对这些事件，我们制定了一项持续教育培训计划，以满足不同行业的不同需求。该HST计划将建立在该计划的基础上，以及该ERC过去的培训经验。 相关性：HST方案为危险物质管理方面的专业培训提供了重要支持--尤其是对公共部门的培训，这些部门的培训预算是出了名的缺乏。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Continuing Education program in Hazardous Substance Training (HST) is an interdisciplinary effort within the Johns Hopkins Education and Research Center for Occupational Safety and Health (ERC) and builds on the strengths of the Continuing Education and Outreach program. Faculty from the ERC core programs of Occupational and Environmental Health Nursing, Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Occupational and Environmental Hygiene also play a key role in this program. The long-term objectives of the HST program are as follows: Develop and implement a program of instruction to take place from 7/1/10-6/30/12; Coordinate training activities with agencies responsible for cleanup, enforcement and training of personnel who deal with hazardous substances; Implement Web-based modules, short courses and continuing education programs for private, state and local health and environmental professionals involved in evaluating, managing and handling hazardous substances; and Conduct evaluations to demonstrate that the regional needs for training professionals are being met. All occupational health and environmental personnel must be adequately prepared to evaluate, manage and/or handle hazardous substances and natural disasters based on their level of training. The HST program will provide public health professionals from a variety of sectors with the skills needed to develop strategies to protect persons, property and the environment. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 and natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina demonstrate the relevance of hazardous substance training to public health. In response to such events, we have developed a plan for continuing education training that addresses variable needs across sectors. This HST program will build on that plan, as well as the past training experience of this ERC. RELEVANCE: The HST program provides important support for professional training in the management of hazardous substances - especially for those in the public sector, where training budgets are notoriously lacking.
