IAFF Hazardous Waste Worker Training

根据NIEHS 2018-2023年战略计划，国际消防员协会(IAFF) 寻求并鼓励与具有共同目标的组织进行协作的机会 保护工人和他们的社区。建筑环境变得更加复杂，因为增加了 人口增长，基础设施老化，以及整个制造业中复杂化学品的使用增加 流程。此外，工人还面临一些新出现的问题，包括职业癌风险、压力源 影响行为健康和健康，以及提供者和社区复原力。 IAFF建议继续其培训计划，以培训跨多个学科的工人，这可能是 呼吁管理或减轻危险物质事故，以防止与工作有关的伤害和 提高劳动者相关健康安全水平。IAFF建议交付八名危险材料技术员 以及每年8个密闭空间救援课程，以及额外的进修培训和培训- 培训人员模块，以确保计划的持续。在资助期内，每年将举办16个班， 每年为400名员工提供超过25,600小时的联系时间。国际消防联合会的培训有一个成功的历史 开发、更新和交付此类技术培训计划，学生及格率高 评级、高评级的调查答复和反复积极的第三方计划评价。建议数 所有可能负责预防、应对或协助的人群都可以参加培训 在恢复中，紧急情况包括火灾和EMS人员、执法人员、紧急情况 管理层和公共卫生官员、工业应急人员以及当地社区合作伙伴。 通过这项持续的合作协议，国际森林论坛将： 1.利用先进的地理信息系统和协作联系人数据库来确定和协调与目标的接触 考虑到增加多样性和对服务不足的人口进行培训。 2.通过提供更新和改进的课程来提高工作人员的能力，其中包括 关于重要新兴主题的嵌入式培训，以改善工人的整体健康和安全，以及 鼓励提高员工和社区的复原力。 3.整合新技术(如电子平板电脑、IAFF在线工具和资源库、移动设备 热点、基于Web的应用程序等)对于课程交付，确保向所有学生提供一致的部署 同时也改善了所有学生群体获得技术的机会。 4.采用多种可靠的质量保证协议来提供定义的基准和衡量培训 有效性。IAFF致力于确保培训计划达到并超过NIEHS 最低培训标准文件，导致工人具有安全意识，决策能力强 制造者，积极的榜样，以及可能在其所在领域担任工人培训者的人。

In alignment with the NIEHS 2018-2023 Strategic Plan, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) seeks and encourages opportunities to collaborate with organizations that share the common goal of protecting workers and their communities. The built environment has become more complex due to increased population growth, aging infrastructure, and increased use of complex chemicals throughout manufacturing processes. In addition, workers face a number of emerging issues including occupational cancer risks, stressors impacting behavioral health and wellness, and provider and community resiliency. The IAFF proposes to continue its training program to train workers, across multiple disciplines, that may be called on to manage or mitigate hazardous material incidents in order to prevent work-related harm and improve worker-related health and safety. The IAFF proposes to deliver eight Hazardous Materials Technician and eight Confined Space Rescue classes per year, as well as additional refresher training and Train-the- Trainer modules to ensure program sustainment. During the grant period 16 classes will be held each year, providing over 25,600 contact hours to 400 workers annually. The IAFF training has a successful history of development, updating, and delivery of such technical training programs, evidenced by high student pass rates, highly-rated survey responses, and repeated positive third-party program reviews. The proposed training will be accessible to all populations that may be responsible for preventing, responding to, or assisting in recovery of, a HazMat emergency including fire and EMS personnel, law enforcement members, emergency management and public health officials, industrial responders, as well as local community partners. Through this continued cooperative agreement, the IAFF will: 1. Utilize advanced GIS and collaborative contact databases to identify and coordinate outreach to target populations, giving consideration to increasing diversity and training of underserved populations. 2. Enhance the capabilities of workers through the delivery of updated and improved curricula, that includes embedded training on important emerging topics, to improve overall worker health and safety, and encourage increased worker and community resiliency. 3. Integrate new technologies (such as electronic tablets, an IAFF online library of tools and resources, mobile hotspots, web-based applications, etc.) for course delivery, ensuring consistent deployment to all students while also improving access to technology across all student populations. 4. Employ multiple, robust quality assurance protocols to provide defined benchmarks and measure training effectiveness. The IAFF is dedicated to ensuring the training program meets and exceeds the NIEHS Minimum Training Criteria Document resulting in workers who are safety-conscious, strong decision makers, positive role models, and who may serve as worker-trainers in their field.
