Our center is funded by several Grants through NIEHS & DOT

Main NIEHS Grant

The core NIEHS program, Hazardous Waste Worker Training (HWWT) since 1988 has been a four-day, hands-on, collateral duty chemical emergency response class (CER). This class has expanded to a wide range of awareness programs for a wide variety of workplace hazards. Under an NIEHS disaster grant, the Center provided training at numerous disasters including the World Trade Center collapse, the BP Oil Spill, Hurricanes Katrina, Sandy, Harvey, Irma, and Maria and the Ebola Outbreak and Response.

DOE Grant

The Center has an NIEHS grant for training at multiple Department of Energy (DOE) sites; Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Kansas City, Missouri, Hanford, Washington and Los Alamos, New Mexico. The worker trainers deliver all onsite training, design new programs annually and are second to none.

DOT Grant

The ICWUC Center has a Department of Transportation grant to develop worker trainers with the ICWUC, United Auto Workers (UAW), American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). This grant targets workers at facilities where hazardous chemicals are loaded and unloaded, shipped or received, or handle biological wastes.
