The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) was 
given major responsibility for initiating a worker safety and health

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) for hazardous waste workers and 
emergency responders. A network of non-profit organizations that are 
committed to protecting workers and their communities by delivering 
high-quality, peer-reviewed safety and health curricula to target 
populations of hazardous waste workers and emergency responders has 
been developed. In twenty-four years (FY 1987-2011), the NIEHS Worker 
Training program has successfully supported 20 primary grantees that 
have trained more than 2.7 million workers across the country and 
presented over 160,913 classroom and hands-on training courses, which 
have accounted for nearly 36 million contact hours of actual training. 
Generally, the grant will initially be for one year, and subsequent 
continuation awards are also for one year at a time. Grantees must 
submit a separate application to have the support continued for each

training criteria in OSHA's Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency 
Response Regulations (29 CFR 1910.120). As a cooperative agreement,
