Nowadays more over becomes active the subject of Sustainable development as well as waste management. In parallel with that, the waste economy in the companies becomes significant issues, because it affects the costs in overall business. Different governments introduce different Revenue Generating Programs 1 Products in the Materials Economy follow a life cycle, just as living things in the natural world fulfill a life cycle by which they are born, grow older, and eventually die. The life cycle of any given product observes the following pattern: Could include: an increase in state funds allocated for these purposes solid waste disposal fees, or solid waste facility permit fees. Also, as a significant part related with this subject is the influence of management of human resources. This paper is, theoretically to present the links between the HR management and Sustainable development waste management & economy.hat what is left, the trash, needs to be treated with the waste management.

TRANING GIVEN BY WASTE MANAGEMENT OFFICER:

As a waste management officer, you’ll create and put the plans in place to provide a reliable and efficient service for the collection, transportation and disposal of waste. You’ll also be responsible for ensuring legislation is followed and budgets are managed effectively. Waste management and recycling coordination may be combined into one role, so an understanding of local and national environmental policies may be required.

The job typically involves:

ensuring waste management schemes are implemented effectively and legal requirements are upheld

overseeing the transportation of waste to ensure its efficiency and prevent contamination – of air, land or water

using national waste strategy and policy to inform plans for waste collection, disposal, minimisation and recycling

advising the council and other relevant bodies/people on the likely impact of new legislation, policies and initiatives

locating areas in which waste management is problematic (egg where fly tipping is frequent) and devising solutions

talking to members of the public, the local council and housing associations to identify and overcome problems with waste management

creating and managing budgets.

Typical employers

Most waste management officers are employed by waste collection authorities (WCAs). There are over 370 of these within local authorities. However, opportunities with other types of employers do come up; the main ones are:

private firms specialising in waste management

environmental agencies

not-for-profit organisations working for environmental causes

Qualifications and training

A relevant degree – for example, in waste management, engineering, environmental or science – is often preferred. Many employers will also accept other relevant qualifications, such as a Higher National Diploma (HND) and a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in waste management. Take a look at the website of the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) for accredited qualifications; these will demonstrate to employers that you’ve gained a certain level of understanding.

Experience of waste management or recycling is valued for this role so, while you can enter the profession after graduating, some people move into it from another role in a WCA, waste management firm, environmental agency or not-for-profit organisation specialising in environmental causes. Take a look at Waste Jobs, along with vacancies on target jobs, for relevant positions.

WELLNESS FOR EMPLOYES:

Waste collection is a necessary service needed by every community to keep streets clean and sanitary for normal life. Many people would not believe that collecting this waste is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. Yes, waste collection is consistently ranked as one of the top ten most dangerous jobs in America, with 13 fatal waste collection incidents in October 2017 alone.

Along with assessing traffic, construction and other street hazards, waste management workers must also pay close attention to injury prevention to guard their own health. Injuries from repetitive motion and ergonomic challenges can take workers off the trucks and out of work. Our communities rely on these important workers every day to provide a beautiful environment for all to enjoy. So, let's take a close look at ergonomic injuries in this industry and ways to keep workers on the job ready to serve their communities.

Common Ergonomic Injuries for Waste Management Employees

Back Pain

Due to the labour-intensive nature of waste collection and disposal, injuries are an all too common event. A 2015 study found 67% of surveyed waste management employees had suffered significant back pain. Bending in awkward positions, twisting, and lifting heavy items can all cause acute back injury or produce symptoms gradually over time. Waste management employees must be extra careful to ensure they do not fall victim to chronic back pain which can lead to long-term quality of life issues.

Sprains & Strains

Waste collection and disposal requires significant manual labour, putting workers at risk of strains and sprains. These acute injuries are the result of abnormal working conditions which fluctuate throughout a normal working day. Bending, lifting, twisting, pushing and pulling increases the risk of waste management employees suffering sprains and strains that can keep them off the job. Because most of the work engages the arms, core and back, the upper body and back are the two areas most susceptible to these injuries. Although common, these injuries can be addressed through smart training to help employees keep their injury risk low and productivity high.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

Climbing on and off of a truck, grabbing a waste receptacle, tossing the waste, and lifting items off the ground are just a few activities repeated countless times on a given day by waste management employees. This frequent repetition accumulating over long periods of time can cause repetitive motion injuries. Shoulder and lower body injuries from lifting, back pain from bending and other repetitive motion injuries can lead to chronic pain, decreased mobility and can ultimately also prevent employees from working effectively. The silver lining here is that repetitive motion claims can be prevented with smart ergonomic practices that assist employees with repetitive motions and lower their risk of injury.

Ways to Improve Ergonomics & Lower Injury Frequency

Continued Education

To prevent the three common injuries above, education is a necessity. Furthermore, continued education is even more important in keeping injury prevention and safety top of mind during employees’ daily job tasks. Experts have stated, "training and retraining are necessary to keep workers' skills sharp and prevent complacency." By training and retraining employees on safety best practices, complacency can be avoided resulting in less injuries to waste management workers.

Help Me, Help You

Waste management companies can use their customers to help their employees stay injury-free and on the job. Educational materials for customers on the proper way to position waste for collection can play a big role in lowering injury rates for waste collection employees. When trash is strategically placed out for pick up, it, in turn, gives collectors a more organized workspace. This decreases the potential for moving in awkward positions and leads to safer collection. Waste management companies should send educational materials to customers on how they can help their waste management employees serve them better while also staying injury-free. It is a win-win for all parties.

Proper Equipment = Loss Prevention

Waste collection and disposal equipment can play a big part in cutting down on ergonomic injuries such as back pain or repetitive motion disorders. For example, automated side-load garbage trucks transfer heavy loads away from employees and mechanically complete the task. This by itself is a significant tool to lower injury lifting hazards for employees. Waste management technology can also help reduce the exposure of waste that may pose a direct threat to the health of employees. For example, it can lower the risks of employees being cut, pricked, or scraped by sharp objects or exposed to chemicals.

Wrapping Up

Waste management is without doubt an inherently dangerous industry. The risks are often overshadowed by industries more easily recognized as dangerous, such as logging, commercial fishing, or mining. Waste disposal and collection workers help keep our community’s neat, clean and enjoyable. The health of waste management employees should not be overlooked. Custom programs from Work-Fit can help waste management employers ensure they are providing the training, education, and equipment to help lower the probability of ergonomic injuries.
