HWWT - PROGRAM SUMMARY/ABSTRACT: Chicago-based OAI, inc., the only community-based organization among NIEHS HWWT awardees, proposes to expand its health and safety training program which targets three underrepresented worker populations: 1) Largely rural and volunteer Emergency First Responders whose departments lack resources and equipment for adequate training 2) Transitional and Temporary Workers, many of whom are high-school dropouts or re-entering the workforce following incarceration or homelessness, and 3) Non-Union Workers, including Hispanic environmental cleanup workers in Louisiana and Vietnamese nail salon workers in five states. The OAI Consortium, led by Principal Investigator Tipawan Reed since 1995, comprises partners representing target populations in 19 states. Significance: The proposed preventative interventions center on providing training to and protecting the health and safety of the above worker populations that are disproportionately affected by exposures to occupational hazards. Approach: The Consortium’s approach is based on implementation of successful training strategies that have been developed and refined over the past 19 years. Deployment of the Train-the-Trainer (TtT) is a key strategy that has the following multiple benefits: 1) extending the reach of training through the multiplier effect 2) building local training capacity among Consortium partners, and 3) achieving training program sustainability. OAI’s TtT Methodology course integrates innovative components including Behavioral Health & Resiliency, Cultural Competency and application of the Social Ecological Model (SEM), and the 3Rs (reduction, reuse, and recycling) to reinforce the benefits of using resources efficiently. As demonstrated through successful partnerships in the state of Kentucky and nationwide through YouthBuild USA, developing local training capacity generates cohorts of peer trainers who are culturally competent, familiar with resources in their areas, and capable of customizing training and conveying critical health and safety information to their audience. Innovation: OAI will continue to apply the Social Ecological Model (SEM) as an innovative evaluation approach which examines the impact of training not only on participants’ work activities, but also on activities outside the workplace. A new innovative study will assess economic benefits of the training by eliciting information from trainees on how OAI training increased their likelihood of 1) avoiding workplace injuries or hazardous exposures and 2) reacting effectively to an actual workplace emergency. Environment: OAI WTP has successfully built an environment conducive to cooperation among its consortia members through ongoing technical assistance, resource leveraging, and capacity building efforts. The program has invested in classroom and hands-on training facilities and an array of instructional resources, which can be accessed by consortium trainers and personnel throughout the five-year grant period.

HWWT-计划摘要/摘要：总部位于芝加哥的Oai，Inc。，唯一基于社区的 在NIEHS HWWT获奖者中组织，扩大其健康与安全培训计划的建议 针对三个代表性不足的工人人群：1）首先是粗糙和志愿人员紧急情况 部门缺乏足够培训的资源和设备的响应者2）过渡和 临时工，其中许多是高中辍学的人或重新进入劳动力队伍。 监禁或无家可归，以及3）非工会工人，包括西班牙裔环境清理 路易斯安那州的工人和五个州的越南美甲沙龙工人。由校长领导的OAI财团 调查员Tipawan Reed自1995年以来，组成了代表19个州目标人群的合作伙伴。 意义：拟议的预防性干预措施中心为提供培训和保护 上述工人人口的健康和安全，受到暴露影响不成比例的 占据危害。 方法：财团的方法基于实施成功的培训策略 在过去的19年中是开发和完善的。火车训练者（TTT）的部署是关键策略 这具有以下多个好处：1）通过乘数效应扩大训练的范围2） 在财团合作伙伴之间建立本地培训能力，3）实现培训计划的可持续性。 OAI的TTT方法论课程集成了创新组件，包括行为健康和弹性， 社会生态模型（SEM）和3RS的文化能力和应用（减少，再利用和 回收利用）增强有效使用资源的好处。正如成功证明的那样 肯塔基州和全国范围内通过美国建立了当地培训的合作伙伴关系 能力产生一群在文化上有能力，熟悉其地区资源的同伴培训师， 并能够自定义培训并将关键的健康和安全信息传达给受众。 创新：OAI将继续应用社会生态模型（SEM）作为创新评估 考试不仅检查培训对参与者的工作活动的影响，而且还对活动的影响 在工作场所外。一项新的创新研究将通过引起培训评估培训的经济利益 受训者的信息有关OAI培训如何增加他们的可能性1）避免工作场所受伤或 危险暴露和2）对实际工作场所紧急情况有效反应。 环境：OAI WTP已成功建立了环境的环境，以合作 通过正在进行的技术援助，资源利用和能力建设工作的成员。该程序 已经投资于课堂和动手培训设施以及一系列教学资源，这可以是 在整个五年的赠款期间，由财团培训师和人员访问。
