ISRI’s Annual Safety Stand-Down Day 2020
Identifying Hazards, Reducing Risk, Eliminating Accidents and Saving Lives
ISRI members are encouraged to shut down operations for at least One-Hour on every shift on Wednesday, June 17, to engage in safety education. The education can be in any form, from employee training (best practices for preventing accidents and injuries on site), to conducting a facility/yard inspection, or any other effective safety training that frontline employees can readily use as a takeaway.
As part of the safety training we recommend that you consider the following training resources:
- COVID-19: Recycler's Guide for Safe Operations
- Fall Protection
- Respirable Crystalline Silica
- Machinery – Moving Parts
- Unexpected Machine Startup, Lockout/Tagout
- Fire Safety Practices (Scrap Facilities)
