FREE VIRTUAL SUMMIT ON SAFETY ISSUES
March 20, 2025, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm ET
Sponsored by:
All solid waste employers – big nationals, major regional companies, haulers, and municipal sanitation departments – face similar safety challenges. Workers at smaller waste collection companies and municipal sanitation departments are more likely to die on the route or in an accident at a disposal facility.
This Summit will go beyond best practices and provide actionable tools and information to reduce improper behavior that contributes to fatalities, injuries, and collisions.
