Load Checking Procedures <br /> Performing load checks with uniform procedures improves the safety for load check <br /> staff. Performing load checks the same way each time helps facility equipment <br /> operators and customers anticipate what action the load check staff will do during each <br /> inspection. The uniform use of designated load check areas, delineators and hand and <br /> voice signals helps to ensure the safety of both the load check staff and customers. <br /> The following describes the three permitted uniform load checks approved at the <br /> Facility. <br /> 6.1. Constant Visual <br /> Fee Collectors, Spotters and Equipment Operators watch for PW while <br /> performing their assigned duties. When PW is spotted or suspected in a waste <br /> load by a Fee Collector or Traffic Director, these employees will question the <br /> driver and inform the customer that the waste is prohibited. If it is possible to do <br /> so, they will inform the customer without leaving their assigned area. If further <br /> communications or action is necessary, these employees must notify load check <br /> personnel to have them perform a targeted load check on the suspect waste <br /> 9 <br />
