The Solid 91仓库 Association of North America (SWANA) announces that beginning March 9, 2015, it will distribute Safety Monday to all members as a standard membership service. Safety Monday is a weekly one-page safety tip published by the National 91仓库 & Recycling Association (NW&RA). It aims to provide helpful safety tips that solid waste professionals can use in their day-to-day work and for years to come. SWANA hopes its members will use the safety tips to support safe operations鈥� messages in their workplaces 鈥� distributing the flyer to operators and sharing it in break rooms and other common areas. 鈥淪afety is something we can all agree on,鈥� says SWANA Deputy Executive Director Sara Bixby. 鈥淓verybody wants their co-workers, employees and themselves to go home safe from work each night.鈥�
SWANA and NW&RA share concerns for safety in the solid waste industry. In September 2014, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics listed refuse and recyclable material collectors in the top 5 for most dangerous jobs. The two organizations have previously teamed on safety efforts 鈥� supporting state-level legislation that encourages drivers to slow down when passing stopped collection vehicles and in safety seminars held at state and national conferences.鈥淒istributing a weekly safety tip to our members is a small gesture we can make to help facilitate the safety of solid waste professionals in North America,鈥� adds Bixby. 鈥淲hen it comes to safety, every little bit helps.鈥�
