项目摘要

The Sustainable Workplace Alliance (SWA) proposes to provide model training and outreach to workers engaged in emergency preparation and response activities. The overarching goal of this program is to prevent work-related harm by assisting in teaching first responders how best to protect themselves and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials during emergency response. For the last seven years, SWA and its alliance partners have been leading the HAZMAT P.A.C.T. (Pacific Atlantic & Caribbean Training) initiative, and as a continuation of that initiative, we will focus on providing outreach in Florida, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Hawaii. Additionally, we will service the U.S. Territories of the Pacific Islands, including American Samoa, Guam, Palau, and the Northern Mariana Islands. These locations are especially vulnerable to severe weather related emergencies compounded by the effects of climate change. Our needs assessments for other grant programs have identified other emergencies such as oil spills, overturned tanker trucks, factory fires, ammonia & chlorine leaks and first responder exposure to opioids as being current concerns for first responders and we will provide training in these areas. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, worker populations in our geographic targets include nearly 94,000 workers serving as first responders, including fire, police and paramedics. Trainees would typically be employed as fire fighters (career and volunteer), HAZMAT response team members, police or paramedics. Additionally, Community Emergency Response Team members, Local Emergency Planning Committee members and first receivers at hospitals. Over the five year duration of this Hazmat Disaster Preparedness Training Program (HDPTP), SWA will conduct 245 classes, train 3,205 responders and cover 38,000 contact hours. This model training and outreach program is designed to reduce injuries and death has an obvious positive effect on public health. By providing HDPTP outreach to first responders and citizen response teams, we will foster whole community resiliency and develop responders that are less likely to cause harm to themselves, the community and the environment while performing their job as a responder.

可持续工作场所联盟（SWA）建议提供模型培训和向从事紧急准备和响应活动的工人推广。该计划的总体目标是通过协助来防止与工作有关的伤害教授急救人员如何最好地保护自己和社区免受紧急响应期间暴露于危险材料。在过去的七年中，SWA及其联盟合作伙伴一直领导Hazmat 协议。（Pacific Atlantic＆Caribbean培训）倡议，作为该计划的延续，我们将专注于在佛罗里达州，波多黎各，美国维尔京群岛和夏威夷提供外展。此外，我们将为包括美国在内的太平洋群岛的美国领土提供服务萨摩亚，关岛，帕劳和北玛丽安娜群岛。这些位置尤其是因气候影响而容易受到严重天气相关的紧急情况的影响改变。我们对其他赠款计划的需求评估已经确定了其他紧急情况例如漏油，推翻油轮卡车，工厂火灾，氨和氯泄漏，首先响应者暴露于阿片类药物是对第一反应者的当前问题，我们将在这些领域提供培训。根据劳工统计局的说法在我们的地理目标中，有近94,000名担任第一响应者的工人，包括火，警察和护理人员。学员通常会被用作消防员（职业和志愿者），Hazmat回应团队成员，警察或护理人员。此外，社区应急响应团队成员，当地紧急计划委员会成员和医院的第一接收者。在此Hazmat灾难准备培训计划（HDPTP）的五年期间， SWA将举办245堂课，培训3,205个响应者，并覆盖38,000个接触时间。该模型培训和外展计划旨在减少伤害，死亡具有对公共卫生的明显积极影响。通过向急救人员和公民响应小组提供HDPTP宣传，我们将培养整个社区的弹性和发展响应者，造成伤害的可能性较小他们本身，社区和环境在担任响应者的工作时。
