The National Waste &amp; Recycling Association (NWRA) board of trustees has approved what it calls a \u201csignificant financial commitment\u201d to form a partnership with the National Safety Council (NSC) to better understand the safety needs of the waste and recycling industry and develop resources aimed at making the industry safer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeaningful progress in injury and fatality rates in the waste and recycling industry have remained elusive. NWRA is committed to safety in the industry, and we are making a major move with this partnership,\u201d NWRA President and CEO Darrell Smith says. \u201cNSC has been a leader in workplace safety for more than a century. This partnership will help us find new and innovative ways to reduce injuries and fatalities. After an initial assessment of the industry, the program will focus on the development of world-class outreach and educational products that are desperately needed in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All NSC safety products will be provided for free to any party in the industry including large and small companies and private and public entities, regardless of NWRA membership status, the association says. \u201cThis partnership will enable us to better understand the unique safety challenges both large and small organizations face within the waste and recycling industry so we can bring forth tangible solutions to combat common risks workers face every day,\u201d Lorraine Martin, NSC president and CEO, says. \u201cEveryone deserves to go home safely at the end of their shift, and we commend the NWRA for taking this important step to make the industry safer.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclingtoday.com\/article\/nwra-nsc-safety-program\/\">Recycling Today\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The partnership will yield resources for waste and recycling companies to help reduce injuries and fatalities.
