“The waste industry is unique in a lot of different ways, so we have to look at these rules from our industry perspective,” said Kirk Sander, chief of staff and vice president of safety and standards at the National Waste & Recycling Association. He previously served on an OSHA advisory committee’s heat injury and illness prevention work group.
Industry groups are still assessing OSHA's proposed heat rule, which could change some daily operations for waste and recycling facilities during high-heat days. Questions about acclimatizing workers and following regulations in varied workspaces are among the concerns. https://lnkd.in/ejNQBdXd
