 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Dillard University Deep South Center for Environmental Justice hazardous Waste Worker Training Center provides training to hazardous material and waster workers who may perform jobs covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standards and assist employers with complying with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.120. The Consortium's goal is unique in that its emphasis is on underserved populations in both its Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program (HWWTP) and its Environmental Careers Worker Training Program (ECWTP). The proposed HWWTP component has been designed to provide model occupational safety and health training for workers who are or may be engaged in activities related to hazardous waste removal, containment or chemical response. The emphasis however, is on servicing workers of entities where health and safety training is critical to the worker's wellbeing and possibly the safety and health of the public, but due to circumstances beyond the individual worker's control, (s)he is unlikely to receive sufficient training at either the quality or quantity needed to ensure safety and health. Such entities include emergency responders and city workers in small municipalities and or cities where budgeting restraints or working conditions (such as no release time), greatly reduces or eliminates the possibility of training. Volunteer fire departments and small county police forces, city health department employees, port authority workers and mosquito control division employees are examples of workers the Consortium has trained. Additionally, HBCUs with smaller budgets have been shown to receive some of the highest fines for non-compliance with applicable regulations. Small minority and disadvantaged businesses typically lack the capital to participate in high cost compliance training programs. The Consortium has targeted these entities for the proposed HWWT program. The proposed ECWTP component has been designed to deliver comprehensive worker training to increase the number of underrepresented and disadvantaged minority adults employed in the fields of environmental restoration, hazardous materials and construction. The goals for this program are: (1) to serve underrepresented and disadvantaged adults living near hazardous waste and or contaminated property at risk of exposure to ambient hazards; and also (2) to provide additional pre-employment services that are inclusive of basic skills (i.e. study skills, math, reading, life skils) to increase program retention and completion; and (3) to successfully place trainers in jobs in the environmental restoration and construction fields. The added value of this training is not just that it increases sustainable employment opportunities for residents of beleaguered communities engulfed in situations of poverty and pollution, but that by investing in these particular individuals promotes economic stability, addresses health disparities and advances environmental justice.

 描述（由申请人提供）：迪拉德大学深南环境正义中心危险废物工人培训中心为危险材料和废物工人提供培训，这些工人可能从事职业安全与健康管理局 (OSHA) 危险废物操作和应急响应所涵盖的工作(HAZWOPER) 标准并协助雇主遵守 OSHA 标准 29 CFR 1910.120。该联盟的目标是独特的，因为其重点是服务不足的人群。其危险废物工人培训计划（HWWTP）和环境职业工人培训计划（ECWTP） 拟议的 HWWTP 组成部分旨在为正在或可能从事危险废物清除相关活动的工人提供职业安全和健康培训。然而，重点是为健康和安全培训对工人的福祉以及可能对公众的安全和健康至关重要的实体的工人提供服务，但由于情况超出了工人个人的控制， (s)他不太可能接受确保安全和健康所需的足够质量或数量的培训，这些实体包括小城市和/或预算限制或工作条件（例如没有发布时间）的城市的应急响应人员和城市工作人员。 ，大大减少或消除了培训志愿者消防部门和小型县警察部队、市卫生部门员工、港务局工作人员和蚊虫控制部门员工的例子。此外，还展示了预算较少的 HBCU。获得一些最高的少数族裔和弱势企业通常缺乏参与高成本合规培训计划的资金。拟议的 ECWTP 组件旨在提供全面的工人。培训以增加在环境恢复、危险材料和建筑领域就业的代表性不足和弱势少数族裔成年人的数量。该计划的目标是：(1) 为生活在危险废物和/或受到污染的财产附近的代表性不足和弱势的成年人提供服务。暴露于环境危害的情况；以及 (2) 提供额外的就业前服务，其中包括基本技能（即学习技能、数学、阅读、生活技能），以提高计划保留率和完成率；以及 (3) 成功安置；环境恢复和建设工作的培训师 该领域培训的附加值不仅仅是。 它为陷入贫困和污染的困境社区的居民增加了可持续的就业机会，但通过对这些特定个人的投资可以促进经济稳定，解决健康差距并促进环境正义。
