<br />HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN <br /> <br />City of Roseville <br />Recyclable Materials Composition Study <br /> <br />1. Objective of this Plan <br /> <br />The objective of this plan is to identifY the critical health and safety issues related to <br />the sorting activities and the method used to train staff concerning these issues as well <br />as accurate sorting procedures. <br /> <br />The personal safety and health of each staff person is a primary consideration of the <br />Project Team. The prevention of occupationally-induced injuries and illnesses will be <br />given high priority during the performance of sorting activities. The Project Team <br />will provide industry standard equipment, training, and physical facilities necessary <br />for maintaining the personal safety and health of all staff members. Along with this <br />commitment, it is the responsibility of each and every staff person to contribute to his <br />or her own and fellow worker's health and safety by learning and exercising safe work <br />practices and complying with all requirements of this site safety plan. <br /> <br />2. Applicability <br /> <br />This site safety plan outlines and explains the various equipment, procedures and rules <br />which have been designed to keep sorters safe and healthy during this study. Unsafe <br />practices or behavior will not be tolerated. <br /> <br />3. Standard Operating Procedures <br /> <br />The basic procedure for sorters will be to identifY different materials in a recyclable <br />materials sample that has been placed on a waist-high sorting table and to place the <br />materials in nearby appropriately labeled containers. Before receiving the materials <br />on the table it will have been examined by the Site Supervisor (or an appropriately <br />trained assistant) for household hazardous, hazardous, and infectious waste. This is <br />considered the pre-sort and is very critical as related to site health and safety. After <br />the material is sorted into the containers, the supervisor or an assistant will weigh the <br />containers. After the containers are emptied, the next sample will be brought to the <br />table and the sorting will begin again. <br /> <br />4. Location of Safety Equipment <br /> <br />The following items will be located near the sorting tables for immediate access: <br /> <br />Roseville-Health & Safety Plan <br /> <br />R'W'~E(K <br />
