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

Every day, waste and recycling collection trucks, transfer stations, materials recovery facilities and the like face the potential threat of a fire. Safety professionals within the industry teach fire prevention and safety tips, but it’s an ongoing effort to keep fires at bay. To ensure you and your team are equipped with the right knowledge and tools to combat a potential fire in a facility or truck, the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) and industry safety experts are hosting a hands-on safety symposium. Come learn fire prevention best practices, effective safety tips, up-to-date information on the dangers of having a fire, how to mitigate a loss and what the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s changes to the fire brigade standard (29 CFR 1910.156) mean for the waste and recycling industry. Separate registration required. Registration fee: $175 NWRA members; $225 non members
