Summary
This supplement is to provide support to conduct worker-based training to prevent and reduce exposure of hospital employees, emergency first responders, and other workers who are at risk of exposure to Ebola through their work duties.The NIEHS Superfund Worker Training Program (WTP) will work collaboratively to develop and target safety and health training for those workers supporting the national Ebola response. Using our hazmat trainers understanding of worker safety and health protection issues, knowledge of personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, and experience in training disaster workers,...
WTP will coordinate with CDC, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to provide awardees with material to develop an evidence-based curriculum that addresses the science of Ebola (clinical symptoms, mode of transmission, persistence in the environment, and treatment); infection control and worker protection (isolation/quarantine and PPE); working in the contaminated environment (sampling and decontamination); and behavioral health resiliency. The funding for this supplement is provided from the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act 2015.
