区域响应和恢复活动

ANational Response Framework（NRF）guides the nation on how to respond to all types of disasters and emergencies.If the NRF is activated，the Occupational Safety and Health Administration may ask the NIEHS Worker Training Program（WTP）to provide:

• Training technical assistance，such as instructional staff，curriculum development experts，subject matter experts，and professional staff。
• Safety training specific to the nature and location of the incident and the particular hazards。
• Assistance and support in the development and delivery of site-specific health and safety training through appropriately qualified WTP awardee instructional staff。
• Assistance such as respirator fit testing and distribution of personal protective equipment。

The U.S.Department of Health and Human Services，which includes the National Institutes of Health and NIEHS，is a signatory to the NRF and the国家灾难恢复框架（NDRF）.The NDRF aligns with the NRF。While the NRF primarily addresses actions during disaster response，the NDRF provides guidance that enables effective recovery support to disaster-impacted states，tribes，and local jurisdictions–particularly for large-scale or catastrophic incidents。

Experience Guides Worker Training

WTP received supplemental funding to train workers involved in response and cleanup activities related to：

• The Sept.11terrorist attacks in 2001。
• Hurricane Katrina in2005。
• The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010。
• Hurricane Sandy in 2012。

Using lessons learned，the WTP and its awardees developed ways to get needed safety and health resources into the field，including:

• 在线e-learning tools，including安全awareness podcasts。
• Personal protective equipment and other training supplies。
• Printed training materials。
• Tailored training to reach underserved minority workers。
• Teams of trainers and subject matter experts。
