Attachment B -3 <br />6.3 Lifting <br />It is likely that heavy barrels will need to be moved from the sort tables to the scale <br />and then to a disposal area and that materials will need to be shoveled onto the tables. <br />Sorters are required to be able to lift 25 pounds to apply for the position. Every effort <br />has been taken to lessen the likelihood of a back injury because of the nature of the <br />work, but every individual will need to keep their own health in mind. If a sorter has a <br />previous back injury or if a barrel is too heavy to roll or slide, a dolly will be used, or <br />someone else will be asked to move it. When shoveling materials onto the tabletop, <br />sorters will be reminded not to load the shovel with more weight than they can <br />comfortably lift. <br />The following tips will be used when lifting <br />Maintain the three natural curves of the spine by keeping the head high, chin <br />tucked in, and back arched. <br />Bend hips and knees. <br />Use the diagonal lift (one foot ahead, one foot behind) to get the weight in <br />close and maintain a wide, balanced base of support. <br />Keep abdominal muscles tight when lifting to help support the back. <br />Keep the load close to the body and stand up straight. Keep head up. <br />Avoid twisting while lifting. Pivot after lifting, if changing direction. <br />Avoid lifting anything heavy above the shoulders. <br />7. Procedure for Handling Hazardous Wastes <br />The materials composition study procedure has been designed so that sorters are not <br />exposed to materials that have not first been screened for hazardous, household <br />hazardous, or infectious waste. These materials are briefly defined and appropriate <br />actions outlined for each in the following: <br />7.1 Hazardous <br />Hazardous: Materials that were improperly disposed of in municipal waste or <br />recyclable materials; e.g., radioactive waste, toxic chemicals, explosives. <br />Action: If the presorters should miss a hazardous item in a materials sample and it is <br />brought to the sorting table and found, work should immediately stop and the area <br />should be cleared. The entire sample will be rejected and removed and, depending <br />upon the nature of the hazardous item, the site coordinator will see to the proper <br />disposal action or will call the appropriate emergency agency. <br />6 B1605 <br />
