This grant is for the development of model safety and health training programs for workers involved in hazardous materials and waste activities within the Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear weapons complex. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) invites applications for cooperative agreements aimed at preventing work-related harm. The training programs will combine information and practical exercises to enhance worker knowledge, ensuring their protection and that of the community from hazardous exposures. This includes operations like hazardous waste management, facility decommissioning, materials transportation, environmental restoration, and chemical emergency response. The goal is to reduce exposure risks for tens of thousands of DOE employees, enhancing the capabilities of the NIEHS/DOE Nuclear Worker Training Program.

| Description: | NIEHS invites applications for cooperative agreements to support the development of model programs for the training and education of workers engaged in activities related to hazardous materials and waste generation, removal, containment, transportation and emergency response within the Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear weapons complex. The aim of this funding opportunity is to prevent work-related harm through safety and health training. The training programs consist of information and practical exercises with the objective of raising the knowledge of workers in protecting themselves and the community from being exposed to hazardous materials encountered during hazardous waste operations; facility decommissioning and decontamination; hazardous materials transportation; environmental restoration of contaminated facilities; or chemical emergency response. Currently, tens of thousands of DOE employees are required to complete safety and health training. The goal of this training is to help reduce the risk of workers being exposed during work activities to hazardous materials and hazardous waste products. The NIEHS/DOE Nuclear Worker Training Program enhances training capabilities at these sites. |
