Frontline workers and companies have had to endure a series of challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to be at the forefront of industry safety efforts.
Waste leaders discussed the lessons they learned while working to keep workers safe as the pandemic evolved. They also provided best practices and insight into collection and post-collection safety during SWANA’s Virtual Safety Summit.
David Biderman, SWANA CEO and executive director, told attendees that whether they work in public sector or the private sector, at a large corporation or a municipality, “we all have a single goal. We want to get every one of the more than 400,000 people who work in this great industry home to their families at the end of their workday safely.”
