Standard Practice for Maintaining Health and Safety Records at Solid Waste Processing Facilities (Withdrawn 2010)

Scope

1.1 The purpose of this practice is to provide guidance to solid waste processing facility managers responsible for maintaining records of the health and safety experience of their employees. This practice describes general principles for establishing a procedure to collect and document health and safety data within a solid waste processing facility and provides specific information on the forms and procedures to be used in recording illnesses among employees.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Significance and Use

This practice is intended for use in resource recovery and other types of solid waste processing facilities. The occupational health risks in such facilities are not well documented and the purpose of this practice is to facilitate recording of information that can be useful in assessing the occupational health significance of working in these facilities.

The records developed and maintained in accordance with this practice can be used as a basis for spotting trends (if any) in the types or frequency, or both, of injuries and illnesses. This information may, in combination with data on environmental health conditions within a waste processing facility, be useful in identifying possible cause/effect relationships.

This practice is not intended as a design guide for an occupational health and safety program but rather is intended to build upon existing occupational health programs and to utilize currently available health and environmental records.
