Eye washes and <br /> first-aid kits are located in the adjacent recycling facility for quick treatment. Workers <br /> are equipped with appropriate safety clothing, including high-visibility vests, gloves, <br /> hard hats, ear protection, and goggles, where appropriate. Eye washes are located <br /> in the MRF Processing Building and Maintenance Building should employees need <br /> immediate treatment. <br /> Employees are trained by staff skilled in (1) various aspects of the work and (2) the <br /> proper use of facility equipment for which they may be responsible. Potential <br /> hazards and safety features are stressed. No employee is permitted to operate <br /> equipment until the employee has demonstrated proficiency in its use. Annual <br /> review and refresher training ensures continued safe operations of the facility and <br /> compliance with regulations. <br /> This facility will not collect or transfer hazardous materials as part of its business <br /> operation. Collection drivers, managers, supervisors, and all employees engaged <br /> in the sorting or processing of solid waste and recyclables have received training on <br /> load checking. The Facility has a Hazardous Materials Business Plan in place. The <br /> Plan depicts the inventory of hazardous materials used in the operation (types, <br /> quantities and locations), such as vehicle fuel, lubricants, solvents, etc. used for <br /> maintenance of collection and processing equipment, and the plan will also include <br /> provisions for and any hazardous materials which may be accidentally brought to <br /> the facility and kept there pending removal by a licensed hazardous waste hauler. <br /> The business plan will include requirements for storage/containment, notification, <br /> and contingency measures in the event of a spill, fire, or other incident. <br /> Protection of Users <br /> Users of the facility will be restricted to select tipping pad areas for loading and <br /> unloading of wastes. There will be spotters at the tipping pad areas to regulate the <br /> general public. Restricted areas of potential risk will be off limits to the general <br /> public. <br /> Debris transfer truck and collection truck drivers will be regulars who are trained and <br /> familiar with the site. A 6-foot high, slatted chain link fence with two gates that is <br /> locked, when it is not in use, surrounds the facility. The general public will have <br /> limited access to the facility's Inert Operations Area and C&D Operations Area for <br /> delivery of self-haul loads. Appropriate, visible signage, traffic cones, and instruction <br /> by the site attendant will direct vehicles to the Inert Operations Area or C&D <br /> Operations Area tipping pads, as appropriate. <br /> Pile heights have been limited to 25 feet for inerts and 20 feet for C&D debris to <br /> more readily manage materials, and facilitate safe handling of materials with onsite <br /> equipment and minimize risk to public, drivers and onsite personnel.
