OSHA Harwood Grant Training Materials

This course was developed in conjunction with the OSHA Susan Harwood grant program. It is relevant to scrap recyclers across all commodities who would like their employees to learn more about hazard recognition and mitigation in the operations environment.

Machine guarding is one of the tenants of any safety program. ISRI received grant funding through OSHA’s Susan Harwood grant program to develop these materials. 

These education and training materials were developed from funding received through OSHA’s Susan Harwood grant program. They focus on Hazard Recognition: Fire Safety and Prevention. This material is designed to help workers, team leads, supervisors, plant managers, and senior leadership to better understand the hazards associated with fires in the scrap recycling and materials recovery facilities (MRF) environments. The objective of these materials is to give the user a better knowledge of the potential fire hazards in their working environment and ways to control these hazards in order to prevent large fires.
