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）及其联盟合作伙伴将提供模型培训以更好 保护受到负面影响的服务不足的社区中的工人，急救人员和公民 通过污染，轻便和紧急事件。这些脆弱的人口不太可能知道他们的权利 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 通过污染或危险物质，以及保护自己免受这些危害的最有效方法。 将特别重点放在培训和将服务不足的公民置于涉及清理工作的工作中 国家的危险废物基础设施，尤其是在他们所居住的社区中。此外，SWA将 专注于吸引西班牙裔工人，煤灰暴露的危害和阿片类药物流行及其危害 对工人健康的负面影响。 SWA及其联盟合作伙伴将重点关注波多黎各佛罗里达州的英语和西班牙语人口 Rico，美国维尔京群岛和太平洋岛地区，包括夏威夷，关岛，塞班岛，美国萨摩亚和 帕劳。根据劳工统计局的说法，我们的地理目标中的工人人口包括 83,600名建筑工人（危险材料清除和劳动者）和服务近94,000名工人 作为急救人员，包括火，警察和护理人员。 在五年的时间里，SWA将举办749堂课，培训7,015名学生，并覆盖119,320个接触时间。的 受过培训的学生将被置于可行的环境或建筑与与建筑有关的工作中。另外，135个 这些学生将获得Hazwoper Train-the Trainer指导，预计这些新培训师 将重新上班并培训1,350名工人，这使直接和两个工人的总数受益 从这个培训计划到8,365。 通常，学生将被雇用为补救承包商，现场拆除工人，清除碎屑和 施加后清理工人；使用霉菌，石棉和铅基油漆的工人；和 减排工人在超级基金或布朗菲尔德站点进行工作。第一响应者的观众会 包括火（职业和志愿者），警察和护理人员，特别关注粗糙的响应者。 此外，我们针对证书（社区应急小组）成员，LEPC（本地 紧急计划委员会）成员和医院的第一个接收者。 该模型培训和外展计划旨在减少伤害，死亡显然是积极的 对公共卫生的影响。其次，通过将灾难公民置于环境中的可行工作和 情感和经济福祉的建筑行业将改善学生，他们的家人和 他们的社区。
