The Historically Black Colleges/Universities and Communities Worker Health and Safety Training Program

项目总结/摘要 深南环境正义中心（Deep South Center for Environmental Justice）危险废物工人培训中心提供 对可能从事职业安全法所涵盖的工作的危险材料和废物工人进行培训 安全与健康管理局（OSHA）危险废物操作和应急响应 （HAZWOPER）标准，并协助雇主遵守OSHA标准29 CFR 1910.120。 该联合会的目标是独特的，因为它的重点是在其危险废物管理中服务不足的人群。 工人培训方案（HWWTP）和环境职业工人培训方案（ECWTP）;以及 在其危险品备灾培训计划中，对灾后恢复至关重要的人口。 拟建的HWWTP旨在为以下人员提供职业安全和健康培训模式： 从事或可能从事与危险废物的清除、控制或处置有关的活动的工人， 化学反应。重点是为那些健康和安全培训 对工人的福利至关重要。这些工作人员包括紧急救援人员和小型 城市工人和/或城市的预算限制或工作条件，大大减少 或者排除了训练的可能性。志愿消防部门和小县警察部队，城市 卫生部门雇员、港务局工作人员、蚊虫控制雇员、HBCUs、小型 少数民族和弱势企业是联合会培训的工人。 拟议的ECWTP组成部分旨在提供全面的工人培训， 就业人数不足和处于不利地位的少数群体成年人的人数 环境恢复、危险材料和建筑。我们的目标是：（1）服务 居住在危险废物和/或受污染财产附近的代表性不足和处境不利的成年人 （2）提供额外的职前服务，包括 学习技能，数学，阅读，生活技能，以提高程序的保留和完成;和（3）成功地 将培训人员安排到环境恢复和建设领域的工作中。 拟议的HDPTP作为HWWTP的扩展，旨在提供安全和健康培训 危险材料和化学工人应对灾难。重点是事件发生前 备灾和救灾培训对在应对过去灾害后仍需要培训的工人至关重要 (i.e.卡特里娜、丽塔、桑迪和哈维飓风）。此外，该方案还向人口提供培训， 被认为对社区的持续恢复至关重要，包括房主，志愿者，小 企业，教会组织成员和新奥尔良等受灾地区的领导人， 洛杉矶（卡特里娜飓风后），德克萨斯州休斯顿（哈维飓风后）和纽约（桑迪飓风后）。

Project Summary/Abstract The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, Inc. Hazardous Waste Worker Training Center provides training to hazardous materials and wastes workers who may perform jobs covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standards and assist employers in complying with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.120. The Consortium's goal is unique as its emphasis is on underserved populations in its Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP) and Environmental Careers Worker Training Program (ECWTP); and populations critical to post-disaster recovery in its Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP). The proposed HWWTP is designed to provide model occupational safety and health training for workers who are or may be engaged in activities related to hazardous waste removal, containment or chemical response. The emphasis is on servicing workers of entities where health and safety training are critical to the worker’s wellbeing. These workers include emergency responders and small municipality city workers and or cities where budgeting restraints or working conditions, greatly reduces or eliminates the possibility of training. Volunteer fire departments and small county police forces, city health department employees, port authority workers, mosquito control employees, HBCUs, small minority and disadvantaged businesses are workers the Consortium has trained. The proposed ECWTP component is designed to deliver comprehensive worker training to increase the number of underrepresented and disadvantaged minority adults employed in the fields of environmental restoration, hazardous materials and construction. The p r o g r a m goals are: (1) to serve underrepresented and disadvantaged adults living near hazardous waste and or contaminated property at risk of exposure to ambient hazards; (2) to provide additional pre-employment services inclusive of study skills, math, reading, life skills to increase program retention and completion; and (3) to successfully place trainers in jobs in the environmental restoration and construction fields. The proposed HDPTP, as an extension of the HWWTP, is designed to deliver safety and health training to hazardous materials and chemical workers responding to a disaster. The emphasis is on pre-incident preparedness and response training critical for workers still in need of training after responding to past disasters (i.e. Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Sandy and Harvey). In addition, the program delivers training to a population identified as crucial to the continued recovery of communities including homeowners, volunteers, small businesses, and church-based organization members and leaders in disaster-affected areas such as New Orleans, LA (post-Katrina), Houston, TX (post-Harvey) and New York (post-Sandy).
