\"\"The National Labor College will conduct regional hazardous materials training workshops for railroad workers at various locations throughout the United States in 2013.<\/p>\n

The first two workshops are five-day Hazardous Materials Chemical\/Emergency Response Training Programs, that will be held in Houston, Texas, April 14-20, and Laurel, Md., May 5-10.<\/p>\n

The workshops present Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Department of Transportation required training and also address procedures for different levels of response and worker protection in a hazardous materials emergency or release, as well as weapons of mass destruction awareness.<\/p>\n

The training also provides components required to complete the OSHA 10-hour Outreach certification.<\/p>\n

The training includes classroom instruction, small-group activities, hands-on drills and a simulated hazmat response in full safety gear.<\/p>\n

The Rail Workers Hazardous Materials Training Program is funded to provide this training by a federal grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and is targeted at rail workers at the local level.<\/p>\n

Applicant selection will be in the following order: local residents not requiring lodging, followed by those within a 500-mile driving radius. Those requiring air transportation to attend will then be considered.<\/p>\n

Interested parties are urged to register as soon as possible. All questions should be directed to Freddie Thomas at (301) 431-5457 or fthomas@nlc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A stipend of $625 per week is available to all training participants in these programs, except those who are able to secure regular pay through their employer, or are paid union officers.<\/p>\n

These programs begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. daily, with a one-hour noon lunch break.<\/p>\n
