NWRA Safety Symposium: Functional Safety Fundamentals

  • Thursday, May 04, 2023:8:30 AM - 12:30 PM
  • Room: 284
  • Session Number: WKSP5

Description

Workshop Leader: Kirk Sander, Chief of Staff and Vice President of Safety and Standards, National Waste & Recycling Association

Ever wonder how your safety program can not only ensure safe operations but help with driver retention and recruitment through training and technology? During this safety symposium, the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) will bring together operational safety leaders as well as technology and training experts to discuss ways to keep drivers safe both on and off the road.

NWRA-recognized safety experts will conduct a Q&A session on safety issues and recommended practices. Following the Q&A, a driver retention and recruitment panel will discuss the NWRA and FastPort Apprenticeship Program and other ways to retain and recruit drivers.

The final panel will share ways that technology is making the job easier and safer. We look forward to your participation and encourage you to bring questions to ask the panelists.
