DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UWUA Power for America Training Trust Fund (Power4America) is the non-profit (501 c3) joint labor management corporation composed of the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) and three utility industry employers (Utility Lines Construction Services, Inc., National grid, and Entergy). The UWUA represents 50,000 utility workers in 219 local unions in 27 states and the Virgin Islands who are employed in electrical generation (nuclear and fossil fuel); electrical transmission and distribution; gas transmission and distribution; and water treatment, distribution, and purification. Power4America and the Labor Institute (Ll), also a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, are applying to the NIEHS for a HWWT/HDPTPP grant to train utility workers to meet the requirements for OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.120. We propose to modify existing curricula for this population and conduct worker/manager training programs to protect these workers/managers and community residents from exposure to hazardous materials and wastes generated by utility operations. This training will help workers and supervisors to protect themselves during emergencies and to implement strategies to prevent deadly accidents that could impact the workers as well as communities surrounding the utility. The utility industry has been absent from the NIEHS grant picture for twenty years even though exposures under 29 CFR 1910.120 have been present. This is a critical problem and a barrier that needs to be dismantled. Workers need to be trained so that they can protect themselves and the communities in which they work. This training is intended to prepare workers to deal properly with hazardous waste, to defensively secure hazardous waste safely when responding to emergencies, as well as to be aware of potential hazards when working off-site from the utility. We also hope to establish a culture within these utility facilities that allows for a cooperative relationship between labor and management to identify hazards before they become emergencies and to remediate them. Lastly, we hope to actively engage underserved members of the community through involvement in the training program. The trainings then give workers and managers the opportunity to interact with each other and begin the process of solving these problems together. Our premise is that the joint problem solving that begins during the training will continue between workers and managers in the workplace. Utility Worker employers are partnering with the Power4America and the Ll in this grant to the fullest extent, offering trainees time for training as well as equipment and space for the trainings.

描述（由申请人提供）： UWUA美国培训信托基金（Power4America）是非营利组织（501 C3）联合劳动管理公司，由美国公用事业工人联盟（UWUA）和三个公用事业行业雇主（公用事业公司雇主（Utilility Lines Construction，Inc.）组成网格和Entergy）。 UWUA代表27个州的219个地方工会和受雇于电气发电的维尔京群岛的50,000名公用事业工人（核和化石燃料）；电气传输和分布；气体传输和分布；以及水处理，分布和纯化。 Power4America和劳工研究所（LL）（也是501（c）（3）非营利组织，正在向NIEHS申请HWWT/HDPTPP拨款，以培训公用事业工人，以满足OSHA标准29 CFR 1910.120的要求。我们建议修改该人群的现有课程，并开展工人/经理培训计划，以保护这些工人/经理和社区居民免于暴露于公用事业行动产生的危险材料和废物。这项培训将帮助工人和主管在紧急情况下保护自己，并实施策略，以防止可能影响工人以及周围社区的致命事故。 NIEHS赠款图片中缺乏公用事业行业已有二十年了，尽管有29 CFR 1910.120的暴露。这是一个关键问题，需要拆除的障碍。需要对工人进行培训，以便他们可以保护自己和工作的社区。该培训旨在使工人准备正确处理危险废物，以防御危险在应对紧急情况时安全地保护危险废物，并在实用程序外部工作时意识到潜在的危害。我们还希望在这些公用事业设施中建立一种文化，以使劳动与管理层之间建立合作关系，以在危害成为紧急情况和对其进行补救之前识别危险。最后，我们希望通过参与培训计划积极参与社区服务不足的成员。然后，培训使工人和经理有机会相互互动，并开始共同解决这些问题的过程。我们的前提是，在培训期间开始的共同解决问题将继续进行工作场所的工人和经理之间。公用事业工人的雇主正在与Power4america和LL合作，并在最大程度上与LL合作，为学员提供培训时间以及培训的设备和空间。 有害废物工人培训计划（HWWTP）
