In 1987, the NIEHS funded a proposal from the International Chemical Workers Union in cooperation with the United Steelworkers, the University of Cincinnati and the Greater Cincinnati Occupational Health Center to train hazardous waste workers and chemical emergency responders. With these funds an education center was established in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1990, a supplemental NIEHS award enabled the Center to welcome three additional unions, the International Association of Machinists, the Aluminum Workers and the Flint Glass Workers into its unique, multi-union cooperative organization. By the end of its initial five-year grant, the Center will have provided 150,000 person-hours of training to 12,000 industrial workers and supervisors actively employed in chemical emergency response or hazardous waste work. Initial results of a long-term program evaluation survey indicate that the Center's training has engendered significant improvements in workplace health and safety conditions at hundreds of sites across the country. In 1990 NIEHS site reviewers found the program to be fully competent, its. training appropriate and in line with regulatory requirements, educational objectives and numerical projections. This project now proposes to extend training to the United Rubber Workers bringing the total six union population to 1.7 million workers. Highlights of program expansion plans include: five-day programs over the three years to train 2,400 members of the priority target population of 35,000 workers actively employed in hazardous waste and chemical emergency response; programs to reach minorities, women and Spanish speaking union members; satellite training programs for members at Department of Energy facilities -undergoing environmental remediation; and expansion of the existing train-the-trainers program to meet increased training needs in the field including programs to be conducted at IAM and USWA facilities. The Center also plans, along with other NIEHS grantees, to establish an annual conference of and for worker-trainers. To achieve self-sufficiency, the Center will continue to aggressively promote its field training programs, and expects these programs to reach 10,500 workers over the three years of the proposed agreement. To date, over 50 corporations have sponsored training by the Center. To maintain and quantify the effectiveness of its training, the Center proposes to continue its long-term survey and data analysis. Preliminary results of the survey provide evidence that the existing curricula, materials and educational methodology used by the Center form a secure and capable foundation upon which to build future programs.

1987 年，NIEHS 资助了国际化学协会的一项提案 工人工会与联合钢铁工人联合会、大学合作 辛辛那提和大辛辛那提职业健康中心 培训危险废物处理人员和化学应急响应人员。 和 这些资金在俄亥俄州辛辛那提建立了一个教育中心。 在 1990 年，一项补充 NIEHS 奖项使该中心迎来了三名 其他工会、国际机械师协会、 铝工人和弗林特玻璃工人进入其独特的多工会 合作组织。 在其最初的五年赠款结束时， 中心将为12,000人提供150,000人时的培训 积极受雇于化学行业的产业工人和主管 应急响应或危险废物工作。 初步结果 长期项目评估调查显示，中心的培训 显着改善了工作场所的健康和安全 全国数百个地点的状况。 1990年NIEHS网站 审阅者发现该程序完全胜任。训练 适当并符合监管要求、教育 目标和数字预测。 该项目现提议将培训范围扩大到橡胶工人联合会 使六个工会的总人数达到 170 万名工人。 项目扩展计划的重点包括： 为期五天的项目 三年内培训2,400名重点目标人群 35,000 名工人积极从事危险废物和化学品工作 应急响应；覆盖少数族裔、妇女和西班牙人的计划 工会会员发言；为成员提供卫星培训计划 能源部设施——正在进行环境整治； 并扩大现有的培训师培训计划，以满足 实地培训需求增加，包括要开展的方案 在 IAM 和 USWA 设施。 该中心还计划与其他机构一起 NIEHS 受资助者，建立年度会议 工人培训师。 为了实现自给自足，中心将继续积极进取 推广其现场培训计划，并期望这些计划能够达到 在拟议协议的三年内，将有 10,500 名工人。 迄今为止， 超过50家企业赞助了该中心的培训。 维持 并量化其培训的有效性，中心建议 继续进行长期调查和数据分析。 初步结果 调查提供的证据表明，现有的课程、材料和 该中心使用的教育方法形成了安全且有能力的 建立未来计划的基础。
