LEA Advisory 20 Attachment - Inspection Guidance for SW Landfills Page 21 of 52 emergency procedures. The inspector should ask site supervisors and personnel about the facility's training programs for operations, maintenance and safety. If answers are vague and/or if no training program can be documented, this is an indication that training is a problem. Essential disposal site training should include personnel safety, hazardous materials recognition and screening, and heavy equipment operations in waste. In accordance with §17258.20- Procedures for Excluding the Receipt of Hazardous Waste, site personnel shall be trained to recognize regulated hazardous waste and PCB wastes. A record of this training must be placed in the operating record. Note: The Cal/OSHA Labor Code, Title 8, CCR, Section 64107.7 sets training requirements for worker safety. The Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP) may be referenced for site specific training requirements. 17673 Supervision The site operator shall provide adequate supervision to insure proper operation of the site in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, permit conditions and other requirements. The Enforcement Agency, local health entity and fire authority shall be kept advised of the names, addresses, and telephone number of the operator, station manager and supervisor. Evidence must be substantiated that the LEA and Local Fire Authority have knowledge or record of the information referenced in this standard. It is also recommended that the site supervisor be present at the facility for at least a portion of the working day. Responsible supervision includes ensuring that all personnel use appropriate health and safety gear at all times. The existence of a number of violations of SMS can be indicative of poor supervision and may be cause for citing a violation of this standard. If a site has a chronic problem with several operational minimum standards which are related to a lack of proper resource utilization (staffing and/or equipment), a supervision violation should be given. 17674 Site Attendant Any disposal site open to the public shall have an attendant during operating hours or the site shall be inspected by the operator on a regularly scheduled basis, as determined by the Enforcement Agency. If the site does not have an attendant and the LEA determines a schedule for inspection by the operator,the site should be visually monitored by landfill personnel for problems of health, fire or safety, in accordance with this schedule. Board staff recommend that a written schedule be established by the EA and a copy forwarded to the operator and Board.
