项目摘要

The Sustainable Workplace Alliance (SWA) and its alliance partners will provide model training to better protect workers, first responders and citizens in underserved communities that have been negatively impacted by pollution, blight and emergency events. These vulnerable populations are unlikely to know their rights to a safe workplace, the inherent risks of the work they do, the dangers of misuse of opioids, the hazards created by pollution or hazardous materials, and the most effective ways to protect themselves from these harms. Special emphasis will be given to training and placing underserved citizens in jobs that involve cleanup of the nation’s hazardous waste infrastructure, especially within the communities they live in. Additionally, SWA will focus on reaching Hispanic workers, the hazards of coal ash exposure and the opioid epidemic and its negative effect on worker health. SWA and its alliance partners will focus is on English and Spanish-speaking populations in Florida, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and the Pacific Island regions including Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa and Palau. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, worker populations in our geographic targets include over 83,600 workers in construction (hazardous materials removal and laborer), and nearly 94,000 workers serving as first responders, including fire, police and paramedics. Over five years, SWA will conduct 749 classes, train 7,015 students and cover 119,320 contact hours. Of the students trained, 200 will be placed in viable environmental or construction related jobs. Additionally, 135 of these students will receive HAZWOPER train-the-trainer instruction and it is expected that these new trainers will go back to work and train 1,350 workers, bringing the total number of direct and tier two workers benefitting from this training program to 8,365. Students would typically be employed as remediation contractors, site demolition workers, debris removal and post-emergency cleanup workers; laborers who work with mold, asbestos, and lead-based paint; and abatement workers performing work at Superfund or brownfield sites. The first responder audience would include fire (career and volunteer), police and paramedics, with a specific focus on rural responders. Additionally, we are targeting CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) members, LEPC (Local Emergency Planning Committee) members and first receivers at hospitals. This model training and outreach program is designed to reduce injuries and death has an obvious positive effect on public health. Secondly, by placing disadvantaged citizens in viable jobs in the environmental and construction industries, both emotional and economic well-being will improve for the student, their family and their community.

可持续工作场所联盟（SWA）及其联盟伙伴将提供模型培训，以更好地保护受到负面影响的服务欠缺社区的工人、急救人员和公民这些弱势群体不太可能知道自己享有以下权利：污染、枯萎病和紧急事件。安全的工作场所、他们所做工作的固有风险、滥用阿片类药物的危险、造成的危害污染或有害物质的危害，以及保护自己免受这些伤害的最有效方法。将特别重视培训和安排服务不足的公民从事涉及清理工作的工作国家的危险废物基础设施，特别是在他们居住的社区内。此外，SWA 将重点关注西班牙裔工人、煤灰暴露的危害以及阿片类药物的流行及其影响对工人健康产生负面影响。 SWA 及其联盟伙伴将重点关注佛罗里达州和波多黎各的英语和西班牙语人口里科、美属维尔京群岛和太平洋岛屿地区，包括夏威夷、关岛、塞班岛、美属萨摩亚和根据劳工统计局的数据，帕劳的地理目标中的工人人口包括超过 83,600 名建筑工人（危险材料清除和劳工），近 94,000 名工人在服务作为急救人员，包括消防、警察和护理人员。五年内，SWA 将开设 749 个课程，培训 7,015 名学生，覆盖 119,320 个教学时间。接受培训的学生中，200 名将被安排从事可行的环境或建筑相关工作，此外，其中 135 名将被安排从事可行的环境或建筑相关工作。这些学生将接受 HAZWOPER 培训师培训指导，预计这些新培训师将重返工作岗位并培训1,350名工人，使直接和二级工人受益总数从此培训计划增至8,365人。学生通常会受聘担任修复承包商、现场拆除工人、碎片清除和处理霉菌、石棉和含铅油漆的应急后清理工人；在超级基金或棕地现场工作的减排工作人员将是第一批响应者。包括消防（职业和志愿者）、警察和护理人员，特别关注农村救援人员。此外，我们还针对 CERT（社区应急响应小组）成员、LEPC（本地应急计划委员会）成员和医院的第一批接收者。这种模式的培训和推广计划旨在减少伤害和死亡具有明显的积极作用其次，让弱势公民从事环境和卫生领域可行的工作。建筑行业，学生及其家人的情感和经济福祉都将得到改善他们的社区。
