Abstract

Principal Investigator/Program Director (Last, First, Middle): Byrd, Lamont FOA Number RFA-ES-19-004 Program Summary/Abstract (DOEWTP) Project Title: International Brotherhood of Teamsters HAZMAT Training at DOE Nuclear Weapons Complex Application Organization Name: International Brotherhood of Teamsters Address: 25 Louisiana Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20001 Project Director Name: Lamont Byrd Contact Phone Number: 202-624-6960 Email Address: lbyrd@teamster.org Website: teamsterworkertrainingprogram.org Grant Program Funds Requested: $6,028,025.90 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.
