City of San Leandro Solid Waste Post Collection Services 33 Champion safe operations with our words and actions Follow all safety rules Identify and address safety risks in advance The behaviors in our Safety Vision and Promise protect what is most valuable to us and to our customers: health and well-being. Facility Safety WM has robust safety programs to protect employees in our post-collection facilities, which include recycling facilities, transfer stations, and landfills. Worker absences and attrition pose safety risks to all employees in a facility, so we are diligent not only about keeping people safe, but also creating a workplace where people will want to stay long term. In our recycling facilities, automation is a critical way we can improve safety. WM’s investments in recycling infrastructure incorporate technology like optical sorters and robotics into these facilities. By automating some of the sorting that was once done manually, these technologies will help reduce injuries and free people up to work on other tasks. Operations within recycling facilities pose a significant safety risk due to the threat of fires - often due to lithium-ion batteries incorrectly placed in recycling carts that can ignite when the casing is compromised. To combat this, WM uses a fire suppression technology that automatically detects fire or smoke in the recycling stream, even when no workers are present. If needed, the system deploys a foam cannon to put out flames, reducing potential risks to our people and significant damage to our facilities. All post-collection facilities are adequately staffed and follow life safety critical rules. Signage throughout our facilities indicate a few life critical safety rules, such as seatbelt requirements, vehicle and foot traffic flow, speed limits, vehicle distancing (minimum 15 feet), no cellphone use zones, and warnings near open landfill pits or machinery. Certificate of Insurance WM secures gold-standard insurance coverage to protect our partners. Going above and beyond, we provide environmental site liability coverage, which covers all active sites that are owned or operated by WM. It offers third-party liability for bodily injury and property damage, and off-site clean-up coverage, coverage for both sudden and non-sudden pollution incidents, and transportation coverage including the loading and unloading of the vehicle. San Leandro can rest easy with WM as your service provider knowing that you are always protected by best-in-class insurance. A copy of our certificate of insurance is included on the following page. Personnel at our post-collection facilities always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) while on duty, including hard hats, reflective vests and clothing, eye/hearing protection, gloves, and dust masks when necessary.
