Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP)

摘要 国际操作工程师联合会（IUOE）是1987年美国国家环境健康科学研究所（NIEHS）工人教育和培训计划（WETP）的原始获奖者之一。自那时以来，国家工作队一直在该方案下提供培训，不断努力提高培训的有效性，同时扩大课程的数量，使更多的高危工人受益。超过 在IUOE 23年的服务中，培训人数稳步增长，而每名学生的成本却下降了。国际职业教育联合会及其地方工会/雇主培训信托基金在2008年花费了超过1.32亿美元，明确表明国际职业教育联合会地方工会和国际职业教育联合会签约承包商是多么坚定地相信训练有素， 安全和生产力。 IUOE国家培训基金最初成立于1994年，2006年成为IUOE的继承者，获得联邦赠款、合同和合作协议。国家培训基金是lUOE国际培训方案的伞式组织，协调政策、战略和活动。进行这次重组的部分原因是为了将安全和健康培训尽早纳入 学徒计划，当年轻工人最愿意将安全作为一种价值内化时，接触到真正的高危人群。2005年，根据劳工统计局的数据，20至24岁的工人受伤和生病的发生率最高。NTF为这一人群提供一系列HAZWOPER和HAZWOPER相关的安全和健康培训，作为向成员提供的广泛服务的一部分。 在联邦合作协议和赠款的支持下，NTF向IUOE教员和地方工会提供最先进的HAZWOPER（危险材料）和OSHA课程和培训材料。 IUOE的培训计划有一个当之无愧的声誉，经过时间考验，一贯有效，真正的国际化。拥有超过一千名教师，数百个设施，教室，商店，实验室和数千英亩的美国和加拿大学徒和旅程级成员可以磨练或提高他们的技能。劳工部长希尔达·索尔斯要求劳工部工作人员 美国复苏和再投资法案（ARRA）奖励建筑项目采取安全培训。她规定必须参加的两门课程之一是由NTF在2009年7月创建的：OSHA 7415建筑业要求：对重大危险的认识和预防策略。 该方案的总体影响为全国处于危险人口中的工人提供了培训，提高了他们的工作现场安全和应对不断变化的工作环境挑战的能力。

ABSTRACT The International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) was one of the original National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Worker Education and Training Program (WETP) awardees in 1987. Continuously providing training under the program since then the NTF has constantiy strived to improve the effectiveness of the training, while expanding the number of courses and reaching more at-risk workers. Over the 23 years of service by the IUOE, the training numbers have steadily grown while the cost per student has dropped. The IUOE and its local union/employer training trust funds spent over $132 million entraining in 2008 unequivocally demonstrating how firmly IUOE local unions and IUOE signatory contractors believe in a welltrained, safe and productive work force. Originally established in 1994, the IUOE National Training Fund (NTF) became the successor grantee organization to the IUOE for federal grants, contracts and cooperative agreements in 2006. The NTF serves as the umbrella organization for the lUOE's international-level training programs, coordinating policies, strategies, and activities. This reorganization was undertaken, in part, to integrate safety and health training eariy into apprenticeship programs, reaching a truly at-risk population when young workers are most open to internalizing safety as a value. In 2005, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers who were 20 to 24 years of age had the highest incidence rate of injuries and illnesses.^ The NTF offers a range of HAZWOPER and HAZWOPER-related safety and health training to this population as part of broad offerings to members. With support under federal cooperative agreements and grants the NTF provides state-of-the-art HAZWOPER (hazardous materials) and OSHA courses and training materials to IUOE instructors and local unions. IUOE training programs have a well-deserved reputation as time-tested, consistently effective and truly international. With over one thousand instructors, hundreds of facilities, classrooms, shops, labs and thousands of acres throughout the U.S. and Canada apprentices and journey-level members can hone or advance their skills. The Secretary of Labor, Hilda Soils, has required that Labor Department staff managing American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) awards for construction projects take safety training. One of the two courses she stipulated that must be taken was created by the NTF in July 2009: OSHA 7415 Construction Industry Requirements: Awareness of Major Hazards and Prevention Strategies. The overall impact from this program provides workers in an at-risk population nationwide with training that enhances their jobsite safety and their ability to meet the challenges of the changing work environment.
