Hazardous Materials Worker Health and Safety Training (U45)

项目概要/摘要 西部地区大学联盟（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; 在环境领域和建筑行业的职业道路。WRUC计划是 通过加州大学洛杉矶分校劳工职业安全和健康部在EPA第九和第十区提供 计划（UCLA-LOSH）作为牵头机构，加州大学伯克利分校的劳动职业健康 计划（UCB-LOHP），亚利桑那州立大学的富尔顿工程学院， 环境与资源管理计划（ASU）和华盛顿大学 护理学院（UW）。自1987年以来，该联盟一直在开发模型程序，并将 在未来五年内，通过NIEHS的三个组成部分继续这样做： 工人培训计划（HWWTP），灾害准备培训计划 （HDPTP）和环境职业工人培训计划（ECWTP）。WRUC将培训 每年有4，891名工人和社区成员参加367个课程，共接触49，663人 小时课程针对危险废物清理和危险品处理中工人的危险， 储存、运输和处置作业;促进保健部门的生物安全准备工作 加强应急、防灾、备灾、救灾和 恢复活动;并提供就业准备和生活技能。WRUC将扩大外联， 获得服务不足的人口;应对新的和正在出现的危害;建设能力， 培训活动、安全和应急响应计划;并支持国家网络， HAZWOPER培训人员和应急人员。1)HWWTP活动将达到2，887 危险材料和废物的工人和监督员在整个地区每年， 加强西南部、太平洋和太平洋偏远部落群体的应急能力 西北阿拉斯加和沿着美国-墨西哥边境。2)HDPTP活动将达到1，814 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。3)洛杉矶的ECWTP活动， 波特兰和阿拉斯加每年将培训和安置190名建筑工人， 环境工作。

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.
