DOE Worker Training
DOE Contractor and Subcontractor training
Training Workers, Technicians, and Supervisors
The goal of the project is to train nuclear facility workers, technicians and supervisors to protect themselves, their facilities, and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials encountered during hazardous waste site clean-up, in the transportation of hazardous materials, and in the response to releases of hazardous materials.
DOE Partners
NPETE and its training partners serve DOE environmental restoration and waste management sites across the nation. The intent is to provide convenient, consistent, memorable, and cost effective 29 CFR 1910.120 worker training to DOE contractors and subcontractors.
Workers gain the knowledge and skills to protect themselves and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials during hazardous waste operations, facility decommissioning and decontamination, hazardous materials transportation, environmental restoration of contaminated facilities or chemical emergency response.
Workers Trained Annually
Yearly Contact Hours
NPETE/CCCHST members will annually train a minimum 7,000 workers, technicians and supervisors, providing 50,000 contact hours of training, to protect themselves, their facilities, and their communities from exposure to hazardous materials encountered during hazardous waste site clean-up, in the transportation of hazardous materials, and in the response to releases of hazardous materials.
