Initial <br /> training is done in a classroom setting with ample opportunity for employees to ask <br /> questions. Monthly safety meetings are held in which different pertinent safety topics are <br /> addressed. In addition, Onsite maintains an online training program, whereby all <br /> employees are given access to specific training topics. These training programs are <br /> utilized to supplement classroom training and include testing and certification upon <br /> completion of each program. <br /> Safety Precautions <br /> The contracted Recycler's personnel assist County supervisors and staff in the proper <br /> identification of all appliances containing materials requiring special handling. Only <br /> qualified trained personnel are permitted to work in the Appliance Processing Area. All <br /> personnel working in the Appliance Processing Area are required to wear highly visible <br /> safety vests, safety glasses, hard hats, gloves, and proper footwear. Appliance processing <br /> is only performed at times when the compactor is not in operation. In addition, all mobile <br /> equipment is equipped with an audible back up alarm and working lights. <br /> It is our goal to minimize accidents through appropriate training, use of personal <br /> protective equipment and proper operating procedures. Onsite's corrective action process <br /> is implemented upon an accident or incident or upon an employee report of an unsafe <br /> condition in the Appliance Processing Area. When any of these conditions occur, Onsite <br /> conducts an investigation as to whether the incident or condition can be corrected by a <br /> change in procedure or policy. When this is the case, a corrective action plan is written <br /> and implemented and communicated to the Materials Recovery Facility Supervisor. This <br /> includes communication of any policy/procedural changes to employees and any <br /> additional training necessary. When accidents do occur, the appropriate supervisor <br /> prepares an accident report which is forwarded to the Director of Operations for review. <br /> The Director of Operations reviews each accident to determine if changes in operating <br /> procedures or personal protective equipment could be implemented to prevent a <br /> reoccurrence of the same type of incident. <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br />
