Waste Station: Notes

Waste Station, UnSafe Site

New public access

The public now access the site using a dedicated entrance. They are prevented from accessing the waste sorting area by a physical barrier. A ramp allows waste to slide down for the excavator to rake.

New industrial vehicle access

Industrial vehicles dropping off or picking up waste have their own entrance to the site, segregating them from members of the public. Truck drivers are segregated from the site vehicles as they no longer need to walk accross the site to access the site office.

Safer working introduced

The workers sorting the waste have a designated area in which to stand when the excavator is in operation. This is not a protected area, but rather an area where the excavator driver can check the location of the staff before commencing work. The option of introducing a dedicated banksman is under consideration.

New site office

The site office is now centrally positioned, allowing improved access and monitoring of all activities.
