8.1 MANAGEMENT SUPERVISION & SAFETY The Project Managers and OC shall be responsible for the smooth operation of the facility. They will assign personnel, monitor performance, reassign personnel to improve operations as warranted, answer questions about the proper location of materials,insure that all tasks are performed safely, and alter operations as necessary during the collection day. They are also responsible for proper packaging of material (including the contents of each container) subsequent to collection. In addition, they provide guidance and direction for all staff and project participants. 8.2 TRAFFIC DIRECTION Facility staff will direct vehicles into appropriate spots for unloading, ensuring that traffic flow is as rapid as possible within safety limitations, and adjust the flow through the traffic lanes in response to the direction of the PM or OC. Traffic directors will make sure that special circumstances (e.g. participants waiting for containers to be emptied) can be re-routed without disrupting the main traffic flow. If a leak is discovered,the leak will be contained and the vehicle carrying the leaking material will be escorted away from the main collection area to a designated area for mitigation of the problem. Stericycle hazardous materials response equipment and qualified personnel will be on-site to provide assistance as needed. 8.3 UNLOADING Unloaders are the direct link to the public and must maintain an air of professionalism in serving the participants. They will ask the participants to turn off their engines,keep the participants in their cars, unload the material, question any unlabeled or odd items, and deliver the contents to the segregation points. The materials listed as unacceptable materials under section 8.4 should not be removed from vehicles except under explicit direction from the PM or OC. Participants with medical sharps in unapproved medical sharps disposal containers should be escorted away from the main collection area to a designated area for repackaging of their sharps to an approved container. Although medical sharps are acceptable for collections, unloaders and other personnel will not directly handle sharps at any time. 8.4 REUSABLE MATERIALS QUALITY ASSURANCE Prior to segregating material, Stericycle personnel will evaluate all collected items for placement in the reuse area. Evaluation will include inspection of the containers for integrity and assessment of type and amount of the material in the container. Please ReUse Guidelines below. Page 15 of 41
