Safety Committee

About the Committee

The Safety Committee was formed with the establishment of SWANA’s chapter Safety Ambassador position. This committee engages our membership on new levels by serving as a resource for members to seek out safety and training information. Collaboration of this committee with membership is an automatic occurrence at our annual spring and fall conference. The committee coordinated its first-ever heavy equipment operator training for our members. We will continue to work on this training and making it better over the course of the next year.

Committee Chair: Nolan Moore

The Safety Committee plans to meet regularly using a roundtable format. Below are some of the documents and information discussed.

• Claims History by Solid Waste Classification (Landfill Operations, Recycling Facility, or Collection) and Affected Body Part

• SWANA's solid waste industry worker fatalities

We roll out safety training and policy and share documents as highlighted below.
