instructed to make their presence known to tipping floor personnel prior to operating equipment on the tipping floor. The following safety measures are taken while using the size-reduction equipment on the tipping floor: • Only qualified personnel operate the size-reduction equipment. • Personnel working on the tipping floor are made aware that the size-reduction equipment is being used on the tipping floor via hand-held radio communication from the operator, and the operator does not operate the size-reduction equipment until he receives acknowledgment from personnel working on the tipping floor. After this notice, workers maintain a minimum 100 ft distance from the compaction area. • All personnel on the tipping floor are required to wear highly visible safety vests, safety glasses, and hard hats. • All refuse received is screened for unacceptable wastes (i.e. hazardous waste, universal waste). • All equipment operators have been trained to be vigilant for cylinders, propane tanks, televisions, and computer monitors. These items will be pulled out and not pushed with the refuse being "fed"to the size-reduction equipment. • The size-reduction equipment is equipped with an audible back up alarm and working lights. • The size-reduction equipment operator also informs personnel working on the tipping floor when the equipment needs to be driven off the compaction pad, so that personnel may maintain the required safety distance from the size-reduction equipment. • The size-reduction equipment is fueled and serviced south of the compaction area near the z-wall (Figure 5) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. • In the event of an explosion as a result of the size-reduction equipment running over refuse, on-site staff will take appropriate action by isolating the area and contacting the Lovelace MRF and Transfer Station Department of Public Works/Solid Waste Division Transfer Processing Report 17 County of San Joaquin April 16,2026
