We have a dedicated cart and equipment manager that is part of our Customer Service team along with additional cart delivery and repair staff. Our equipment manager tracks inventory on a monthly basis and evaluates needs for orders of carts and cart sizes to meet the organization needs. We employ a philosophy of having at least a four -month supply in inventory at all times based on average demand for cart swaps and repairs. Safety Plans and Records Summarize your safety plans for route collection operations to protect both residents and your workers. Eureka Recycling has an extensive safety program to minimize the risks of accidents and injuries to all individuals with whom the organization interacts, whether they are Eureka Recycling staff, contractors and other businesses that come to our location to conduct business, or the general public with whom we interact throughout the Twin Cities. Eureka Recycling's Safety Program Overview (AWAIR) and 2021 AWAIR Goals are included in Attachments U1 and U2. Each new and existing employee is trained on Eureka Recycling's safety policies as they apply to the employee. Training is given at the beginning of employment, and on an ongoing basis during employment as it is appropriate and required. For our collections team this includes ongoing training on accident prevention and annual training about safe driving in winter road conditions each year in the fall. The following categories, as well as others, are included in Eureka Recycling's Safety Handbook with accompanied safety training where applicable: • AWAIR • Forklift Safety • Accident/Incident Prevention • Fire Prevention • Emergency Procedures • Respiratory • Equipment Operator Procedures • Blood -borne Pathogens • Fleet Procedures/ Defensive Driving • Hoisting Equipment • Employee Right -to -Know • Housekeeping • Electrical Safety • Confined Space • Lockout/Tag-out • Fleet Safety Policies • Scissor Lift and Ladder Safety • Curbside Collection Procedures • Personal Protective Equipment Eureka Recycling has a safety training plan and protocols for all drivers, contractors, and individuals from other companies and organizations that enter any of Eureka Recycling's operating areas. Specific policies include the Yard Policy and Tip Floor Policy as well as others. Additional information and copies of these protocols are available upon request. We reward our drivers for their safety success by offering a quarterly safety bonus. They are eligible for the bonus if they have not had a vehicle accident and if they have followed all of Eureka's safety policies throughout the quarter. In order to specifically address residents' safety, we communicate frequently with our drivers about our expectations for professional conduct and a high degree of attentiveness to driving, and we very systematically apply discipline as needed to enforce these expectations. We also utilize truck cameras to investigate resident complaints, and our drivers are aware that we will use the result of this investigation to implement discipline if needed, up to and including termination.
