Waste Management and Recycling.
The source and handling of waste changes exposure. For tasks involving glass, metal and liquid waste, mechanical protection and cleaning needs must be considered together.
What's important?
Sharp and falling pieces
Identify materials that could fall onto feet during sorting and dismantling. Where workers may step on sharp waste, verify suitable sole puncture protection in the technical documentation.
Managing contamination
Create a cleaning plan with workwear based on the possibility of liquid and biological contamination. Check that the cleaning method does not damage the shoe material.
Inspection and replacement
Check for embedded debris, cuts and sole separation before each shift. Clearly explain the procedure to follow after contact with hazardous waste.
The final selection is made with the risk assessment of the workplace and the current technical documentation of the model. Industry guides are not a declaration of product conformity.
