The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) Consortium is applying for funding under the
DOE Worker Training Program (DOEWTP) cooperative agreement to provide appropriate model
health and safety training. The targeted population for the DOEWTP is workers who are engaged
in hazardous waste remediation, hazardous materials transportation, warehousing, and emergency
response on DOE sites.
The long term objectives and specific aims of the IBT Consortium are to increase worker,
community, and environmental safety and resilience by training workers to appropriately respond
to accidental releases of hazardous materials; work safely on hazardous waste remediation projects
on DOE sites; and safely transport hazardous materials, including radioactive materials, via truck
or rail.
The IBT Consortium will access the nationwide population of targeted workers through
established partnerships with appropriate local unions/lodges, community-based organizations, and
other partners to deliver training to 15,200 workers during the 5-year project period.
