June 24 to serve as a day of training and safety education for recycling industry
(Washington, DC) – The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), the Voice of the Recycling Industry™, announced today that the second Annual Safety Stand-Down Day will take place on June 24. On Safety Stand-Down Day, all ReMA member and non-member facilities are asked to spend at least one hour each shift focused on safety education. The theme for this year’s Safety Stand-Down Day is “Be Safe to Be There.”
“In 2014, when faced with an extraordinarily high number of fatalities and injuries, the recycling industry responded with its first Stand-Down Day,” said ReMA Chair Doug Kramer. “With the focus on safety that day, and every one since, we have started to move the needle. Fatalities are down, and an analysis of claims by RecycleGuard shows that, over the last three years, ReMA members have shown to be significantly safer than non-ISRI members in the recycling industry based on losses as a percentage of premiums.”
This year’s Stand-Down Day takes place during National Safety Month. Throughout the month, ReMA will be providing training guides, videos, and other resources for recycling facilities to use which will focus on four areas of concern: mobile equipment, lockout tagout, confined spaces and machine guarding, and fall protection. The training that each facility provides can take any form, from employee training to a management walk-around, or other effective safety-training method.
