    WASHINGTON — The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries will offer a "Hazard Recognition in Recycling" safety training program.

    The program, a series of free classes across the U.S., is the result of $140,000 in funding ISRI received from the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, ISRI said in a press release.

    The course is designed for recyclers across all commodities who want employees to learn more about hazard recognition and mitigation in the workplace. Among the areas covered are:

    • How to do a personal protective equipment (PPE) hazard assessment;
    • How to recognize how to safely work around mobile equipment;
    • The importance of proper PPE;
    • The importance of controlling hazardous energy;
    • Good housekeeping practices;
    • How to recognize fire hazards; and
    • Hazard communication in the workplace.

    Students also learn what a hazard assessment is and how to build a PPE job hazard assessment through group work, ISRI said.

    Each class is approximately 7.5 hours long and is open to both ISRI and non-ISRI members for free, the institute said.
