5.6 Protection of Users <br /> Describe design, construction and operational controls for ensuring that contact <br /> between users and solid wastes is minimized. Regulations require that railing, curbs, <br /> grates, and fences be provided as necessary to adequately protect the public and <br /> facility personnel. If signs will be used, describe them. <br /> The operator and general laborers oversee the unloading of all incoming loads. The few <br /> public customers that the RRF does have are not allowed in any other area than <br /> the wood chipping area. In the wood chipping area, the customers are constantly <br /> supervised, as are all customers. There is no hazardous contact between the public and <br /> the RRF. <br /> The Compost Facility/RRF is designed so that facility users have minimum <br /> contact with processing equipment and materials. The vehicle unloading areas will be <br /> located on the opposite side of the material stockpile, so that the front-end loader will be <br /> removing material from the far side of the stockpile, away from facility users. The <br /> Compost Facility/RRF will have signs posted to direct traffic to the stockpiles and away from <br /> other areas of the facility. The RRF will be staffed during all hours that the grinder is <br /> operating. The grinder will be equipped with a locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized <br /> use. Facility users will not be authorized to access the waste material storage area. <br /> Residues will be removed only by properly licensed parties approved by Forward. <br /> 5.7 Safety i <br /> Describe safety equipment to be provided onsite.
