15 June 2006 - HSE - Waste and Recycling
Vehicles in Street Collection
Navigation
The Health and
Safety Executive (HSE) through consultation between the Waste Industry Safety
and Health Forum (WISH), and also based on a guidance note produced by the
Northamptonshire Local Authority Safety Advisors Group, has recently published a
'best practice' document - Waste and Recycling Vehicles in Street Collection.
The document deals with risk assessment, management, reversing and the
deployment of agency workers.
The document is written for employers, managers, supervisors and workers to
help them remove or reduce the risk of injury caused by waste/recycling
collection vehicles operating in the street.
It is deliberately restricted to:
- vehicle issues (but comments on other issues);
- and activities in public access areas (eg street collection, car parks).
The document can be found on the HSE website by clicking the following link:
