SUMMARY:Struck-By Prevention: Managing Vehicle-Pedestrian Interactions in Waste and Recycling Facilities Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Vehicle-pedestrian incidents represent one of the leading causes of fatalities in waste and recycling operations. With heavy equipment\, commercial trucks and workers often occupying the same space\, the potential for catastrophic struck-by incidents is ever-present. This webinar provides comprehensive strategies for separating people from moving vehicles and managing interactions where separation is unavoidable\, such as on landfill working faces\, tipping floors\, scale houses and yard operations. We cover site design considerations\, traffic control plans\, technology solutions (i.e.\, proximity detection\, cameras and alarms)\, administrative controls and the critical human factors that contribute to these incidents. Learn from incident investigations\, explore best practices from high-performing facilities and discover how to conduct effective risk assessments for your specific operational environment.

SUMMARY:Fortifying The Front Lines: 9th Annual Waste & Recycling Facility Fires Report Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The data is in\, and the conclusion is undeniable: 2025 was the worst year on record for publicly reported fire incidents in the waste and recycling industry across the U.S. and Canada. The industry has reached a critical inflection point\, facing a sustained siege driven by the “Vape Effect”—the relentless influx of over 1.2 billion disposable lithium-ion devices entering our waste streams annually. \n\n\n\nJoin Ryan Fogelman\, as he unpacks the findings from the 9th Annual Waste & Recycling Facility Fires Report. This session moves beyond the statistics to explore the “new baseline” of fire risk\, where seasonal spikes have evolved into year-round hazards. Ryan will discuss how operators are shifting from a reactive “water\, water\, water” approach to Targeted Remote Response (TRR)\, utilizing the FM-Approved Fire Rover solution to stop fires in the critical first moments. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Ryan Fogelman\, J.D./MBA\, Fire Protection Consultant\, Fire Rover  \n\n\n\nCO-Hosts:   \n\n\n\nKirk Sander – Senior Vice President\, Chief Safety and Standards National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) \n\n\n\nKristyn Oldendorf – Senior Director of Public Policy & CommunicationsSolid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) \n\n\n\nDuration: [60 Minutes]
