导入工作器和公共健康
工作is a自然排水量–this means that the conditions in which people work influence their health and shape their daily lives。The NIEHS Worker Training Program（WTP）is committed to improving the health and well-being of workers and ensuring that workplace conditions are safe。
Since1987，WTP has trained more than5million workers in the U.S.and surrounding territories，providing them with proper training and education，and empowering them with knowledge and skills to safely handle or remove hazardous materials。
As of 2022，the U.S.workforce includes nearly200million people，and this number is projected to grow rapidly by2030.Compared to past decades，many people are entering the workforce at a younger age.In addition，many immigrants travel to the U.S.seeking seeking seasonal or permanent employment.These factors often chanbasge on on on the on，weather-related events，or public health emergencies
Regardless of the circumstances，WTP helps ensure that workers across various ages，ethnicties，and occupational sectors have access to training and resources to protect themselves，their colleagues，and communities from harmful exposures.WTP demonstrated this commitment recently during the corovir 2019（COnavirus）。The program had aswift response to the pandemic（3MB）生产成本和生产成本，transportation，and other industries。
Nonprofit Organizations
WTP funds a network ofnonprofit organizationsthat deliver high-quality，evidence-based safety and health training across the U.S.and surrounding territories.These organizations include labor-based health and safety organizations and academic institutions who are committed to protecting the safety，health，and well-being of workers and their comnimuties
WTP grant recipients（118KB）were originally charged with developing safety and health training for workers engaged in specific activities related to hazardous materials and waste generation，removal，containment，transportation，and emergency response.Today，these organizations train workers in all types of workplace settings，including healthcare，agriculture，manufacturing，construction，and more.Training opportunities reach young and older workers，and range fromfull-time，permanent workers to migrant and temporary。
WTP grant recipients give workers and their employers access to reliable tools，content，curricula，resources，web-and classroom-based materials.Training is delivered under the followingprogram areas：
- Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program
- 环境Career Worker Training Program
- Hazardous Materials（HAZMAT）Disaster Preparedness Training Program
- SBIR E-Learning for HAZMAT Program
- NIEHS/U.S.Department of Energy（DOE）Nuclear Worker Training Program
- Infectious Disease and Biological Hazards Training
所有Focus on Hazards
WTP uses an all-hazards approach for training.This means that training covers existing，emerging，and unknown threats，as well as disaster-specific hazards.For example，while the risks of exposure to lead and asbestos are well known， the risks associated with other hazards like lithium-ion batteries are emerging and still being explored.Infectious disease variants are also an emerging concern as scientists uncover molecular signatures and determine the risk of transmission.Natural disasters lifloods，wildfires，and hurricanes frecque， and manmade disasters are a growing concern as the production and transport of hazardous materials continues to expand in different regions。
The all-hazards approach is crucial because it aims to cover all conditions and environments that workers may face.Training curricula and resources are needed to ensure the safety of workers and communities.WTP supports training and development of curricula that help employers mefederal stards mandated by the Saccational and hepatyAdministration（OSHA）and the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）。This includes，but is not limited to，OSHA’sHazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response（HAZWOPER）标准，标准EPA’s standards for hazardous waste operations and emergency response.
到达Various Industries
WTP delivers training to a variety of workers who face the risk of injury or illness due to exposure to hazardous work environments.Training is delivered to workers across many occupational sectors，including those involved in construction，disaster response and cleanup，health care，agricuulture，micallities and facture，facture，transportation，and more

WTP is committed to training and development of resources that consider the diversity，equity，inclusion，and accessibility needs of all workers.For example， WTP considers the disparities that underserved workers and communities experience who have low-income and limited access to health promoting resources.The program also promotes language justice，keeping the needs of workers across all literacy levels and backgrounds in mind.Therefore，all training and resources are tailored with equity and access in mind to meet the needs of under-employed，temporary，migrant，and non-（or limited）English-speaking workers。
