IAFF HazMat Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex

国际消防员协会(IAFF)建议继续其工人健康和安全培训 在美国能源部武器设施半径150英里范围内，培训跨多个学科的工人的计划 设施，以防止与工作有关的伤害，并改善与工人有关的健康和安全。通过这件事 赠款资助，IAFF将提供包括危险材料技术员在内的专业课程 空间救援和对界面的响应(包括对已经发生并继续发生的野地火灾的管理 到，影响到各个能源部站点)，以及额外的进修培训和培训员培训模块，以 确保计划的可持续性。IAFF培训在发展、更新和交付方面都有成功的历史 高学生通过率、高评级的调查回答证明了这类技术培训计划，以及 反复对第三方项目进行正面评价。拟议的IAF培训将向所有人开放 可能负责预防、应对或协助恢复危险物质的人群 紧急情况，包括但不限于消防和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.加强能源部现场或周围工作人员的能力，提供最新和 改进课程，其中包括关于新出现的重要主题的内嵌培训，以全面改进 工人的健康和安全，并鼓励提高工人和社区的复原力。 3.整合新技术(如电子平板电脑、IAFF在线工具和资源图书馆、 移动热点、在线应用等)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.采用多个可靠的质量保证协议来提供定义的基准和衡量标准 培训效果。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。

The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) proposes to continue its worker health and safety training program to train workers, across multiple disciplines, within a 150-mile radius of DOE weapons complex facilities in order to prevent work-related harm and improve worker-related health and safety. Through this grant funding, the IAFF will deliver specialty courses including Hazardous Materials Technician, Confined Space Rescue and Responding to the Interface (covers management of wildland fires that have, and continue to, impinge on various DOE sites), as well as additional refresher training and Train-the-Trainer modules to ensure program sustainment. The IAFF training has a successful history of development, update, 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 IAFF training will be accessible to all populations that may be responsible for preventing, responding to, or assisting in recovery of a HazMat emergency including, but not limited to, 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 on or around DOE sites 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, online apps, 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 safety-conscious, strong decision makers, positive role models, and who may serve as worker-trainers in their field.
