项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Union, UAW proposes to train 2339 workers in the first year, providing 22,545 contact hours of training using 25 different curricula t worksites and at union-sponsored functions. The UAW will train 11,695 participants and provide 112,725 contact hours of training over the life of the project. We will expand the scope of an on-going program which provides training in hazardous waste operations, hazardous materials transportation, environmental restoration of contaminated site, emergency response and related health and safety topics. The long-term objective of this project is to prevent work-related harm by providing health and safety training to UAW members and members of communities disadvantaged by environmental injustice, limited English proficiency and/or lack of educational opportunity. The training will help them to protect themselves, their places of employment and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials. A special strength of this project is that it integrates the technical expertise of the UAW and the University of Michigan (U-M) in basic disciplines of health and safety, the practical experience of the UAW in addressing hazards at work, and the ongoing relationship of the UAW with trainees and management at worksites served. We plan to enhance collaboration with groups that serve populations with limited English proficiency, occupational health disparities and environmental justice challenges. To do so, we propose not just to deliver health and safety training to community members recruited by our partner organizations, but also to transfer health and safety training skills to te staffs of our partner organizations through train-the-trainer programs. Our partner organizations include: - Catholic Charities Hispanic Outreach Services - United Hispanic Workers of Detroit - Macomb International Services Center - Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice - Green Door Initiative - OAI Inc The paramount goal of this project is to prevent work-related harm by training UAW members and others in how best to protect themselves and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials encountered during hazardous waste operations, hazardous materials transportation, environmental restoration of contaminated facilities and/or chemical emergency response. The specific aims are to: 1. Conduct training in health and safety topics directly or indirectly related to elimination and/or reduction of potential exposure o hazardous materials. 2. Develop new curricula on chemical safety and security, climate change, Ebola and other topics. Revise and expand existing curricula as needed. Integrate advanced training technology into new and revised curricula to improve the delivery of training (WETP Mission Priority 5). 3. Continue and intensify efforts to identify and target high-risk worksites for delivery of training. 4. Continue and expand collaborative partnerships with community groups and other NIEHS-WETP grantees. These partnerships will be particularly focused on addressing underserved workers, health disparities and environmental justice. 5. Conduct program evaluation, integrating use of worker-evaluators to provide feedback for continual improvement of curricula and delivery methods. This will include evaluating the long-term impact of IER training on worker and organizational outcomes. 6. Continue and expand a study that identifies factors contributing to suboptimal safety cultures and assesses the effectiveness of low cost intervention strategies to positively change suboptimal workplace safety cultures.

描述（由适用提供）：国际联盟，UAW提议在第一年培训2339名工人，提供22,545个接触时间的培训时间，并使用25种不同的现有作品和工会赞助的职能提供。 UAW将培训11,695名参与者，并在该项目的生活中提供112,725个接触时间的培训。我们将扩大正在进行的计划的范围，该计划为危险废物操作，危险材料运输，受污染现场的环境恢复，紧急响应以及相关的健康与安全主题提供培训。该项目的长期目标是通过向UAW成员和社区成员提供健康和安全培训，以防止与工作有关的伤害，因为环境伤害有限，英国水平有限和/或缺乏教育机会。培训将帮助他们保护自己，就业地点和社区免于暴露于危险材料中。该项目的一个特殊优势在于，它将UAW和密歇根大学（U-M）的技术专业知识整合到健康和安全的基本学科中，UAW在解决工作中的危害方面的实践经验以及UAW与受训人员与工作人员的持续关系。我们计划加强与为英语水平有限，职业健康差异和环境正义挑战的人群提供服务的团体的合作。为此，我们不仅建议为合作伙伴组织招募的社区成员提供健康和安全培训，还建议通过培训培训计划将健康和安全培训技能转移给我们合作伙伴组织的员工。我们的合作伙伴组织包括： - 天主教慈善机构西班牙裔美国人外展服务 - 底特律联合的西班牙裔工人 - Macomb International Services Center-为环境正义而工作的底特律 - 绿色门倡议-OAI INC - OAI INC的最高目标是防止工作相关的危害，以防止培训UAW成员和其他人，以保护自己及其在范围内的范围范围内的范围造成的范围范围的范围危险范围，使其在危险中销售危险范围，使其在危险中销售危险范围，这是我们的范围危险的范围，而在危险中，则危害了危险的范围。受污染的设施和/或化学紧急响应。具体目的是：1。与消除和/或减少潜在暴露材料的危险材料直接或间接有关健康和安全主题的培训。 2。开发有关化学安全，气候变化，埃博拉病毒和其他主题的新课程。根据需要修改和扩展现有课程。将先进的培训技术集成到新的和修订的课程中，以改善培训的交付（WETP任务优先级）5）。 3。继续并加强识别和针对高风险工作人员进行培训的努力。 4。继续与社区团体和其他NIEHS-WETP Grandes的合作伙伴关系。这些伙伴关系将特别专注于解决服务不足的工人，健康分配和环境正义。 5。进行计划评估，整合使用工人评估者的使用以提供反馈，以持续改进课程和交付方法。这将包括评估IER培训对工人和组织成果的长期影响。 6.继续并扩大一项研究，该研究确定了有助于次优的安全培养的因素，并评估了低成本干预策略的有效性，以积极地改变次优的工作场所安全培养。
