Training
Hazard recognition is an important element in the reduction of risk in your recycling business. Learning to recognize and correct hazards helps to create a safer workplace.
ISRI offers a day-long training course on hazard recognition to help your employees recognize and address hazards before they cause injuries. Employers will benefit by a lower prevalence of job-related injuries, allowing for a safer, more productive workforce.
This training, which focuses on high-risk areas found in the recycling industry, covers:
■ the importance of proper PPE;
■ how to do a PPE hazard assessment;
■ how to recognize the hazards of and safely work around mobile equipment;
■ the importance of controlling hazardous energy (lock-out/tag-out);
■ good housekeeping practices;
■ recognizing fire hazards; and
■ hazard communication programs.
ISRI is offering this training regionally and FREE to ISRI and non-ISRI members thanks to the generosity of an OSHA Susan Harwood Grant.
