项目摘要

The hazardous waste site remediation industry is large and diverse, accounting for more than 104,000 jobs nation-wide. (EBI Report 2020B, 2009) Although Superfund work has declined, roughly 294,000 other contaminated sites will require cleanup. (EBI Report 2020B, 2009) With the federal government's focus on accelerated DOD and DOE facility cleanup, a larger workforce will be needed to fill these jobs. Furthermore, companies want to remove contaminated industrial sites from their liabilities, prompting them to remediate and sell-off unused property. The Environmental Business Institute (EBI) projects growth for several other environmental remediation industries. Currently 30,000 above-ground storage tanks (AST) require replacement and cleanup. Mold remediation grew from a small $50 million industry in 2000, to a $300 million industry by 2003; and double digit growth is expected to continue. (EBI Report 317, 2009) Cleanup jobs associated with community redevelopment (such as Brownfields cleanup, residential weatherization, and housing reconstruction) should also increase. These industries require trained workers to safely perform tasks in potentially dangerous environments. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) confirms that the job outlook for HW remediation is good and that the industry is particularly vulnerable to job turnover, supporting the need for continuous HW Worker training. (BLS 2007) Assuming a low worker attrition rate of 10%, a minimum of 10,400 new workers will need HW training each year; and all active remediation workers must take HW Refresher training to maintain their certification. Construction workers may also need HW Worker training because they may encounter contaminated soil or other toxic waste on the job. Workers that excavate pockets of contaminated material from previous site activities and highway spills need HW Worker or Awareness training to continue to work on the highway job. Similariy, any work on industrial, commercial and even residential buildings can reveal toxic materials that must be removed. All of the above industries employ Construction Craft Laborers (CCL) for remediation, deconstruction, and construction tasks. Based upon market analyses, approximately 25% of HW remediation workers are construction laborers. Percentages are even higher for mold remediation, demolition, and infrastructure jobs. New jobs in AST, green construction, and weatherization/energy efficiency are also expected to employ laborers. Consequently, the need for CCL HW Wori<er and Refresher, health and safety, and other construction and environmental training is high.

危险的废物修复行业庞大而多样化，全国有104,000多个工作岗位。（EBI Report 2020b，2009年）尽管超级基金工作已经下降，但大约有294,000个其他受污染的地点需要清理。（EBI Report 2020b，2009年），联邦政府专注于加速的DOD和DOE设施清理，将需要更大的劳动力来填补这些工作。此外，公司希望从其负债中删除受污染的工业站点，促使他们进行补救和抛售未使用的财产。环境商业研究所（EBI）为其他几个环境修复行业的项目增长。目前，30,000个地上储罐（AST）需要更换和清理。霉菌修复从2000年的5000万美元行业增长到2003年的3亿美元行业；预计将持续两位数的增长。（EBI报告317，2009年）与社区重建相关的清理工作（例如棕地清理，住宅气候，住房重建）也应增加。这些行业要求受过训练的工人在潜在危险的环境中安全执行任务。劳工统计局（BLS）确认，HW补救的工作前景很好，该行业特别容易受到就业机会的攻击，这支持了需要连续的HW工人培训的需求。（BLS 2007）假设工人流失率低10％，每年至少需要10,400名新工人培训；所有积极的补救工人都必须接受HW刷新培训以维持其认证。建筑工人也可能需要HW工人培训，因为他们可能会在工作中遇到污染的土壤或其他有毒废物。从以前的现场活动和高速公路溢出物中挖掘出污染材料的工人需要HW工人或意识培训，以继续从事高速公路工作。类似的工业，商业甚至住宅建筑上的任何工作都可以揭示必须去除的有毒材料。上述所有行业都使用建筑精制工人（CCL）进行修复，解构和建筑任务。根据市场分析，大约25％的HW补救工人是建筑工人。霉菌修复，拆除和基础设施工作的百分比更高。预计AST，绿色建筑和气候化/能源效率的新工作也将雇用劳动者。因此，需要CCL HW Wori <Er和Reforher，健康和安全以及其他建筑和环境培训很高。
