Commercial Pick-Up Front-End Loading and Roll-Offs

(12 min.) In this session, we will focus on commercial pick up of solid waste; container pick-up involving front-end loading and roll-offs. We will address the hazards you can expect to encounter and best practices to avoid and prevent accidents while on the job. Drivers are responsible for the safe and effective operation of the vehicle from the pre-trip inspection before beginning your route, the vehicle operation throughout the day, to the post-trip inspection and route sheets to be turned in at the end of your shift. Drivers must be authorized and properly licensed to operate these vehicles and are expected to report hazards from mechanical issues with truck needing repair to physical issues along their route which may need to be reported to public authorities to be addressed and or corrected.

Topics included in this safety video are: container pick-up, container accessibility, commercial roll-off, hot loads, transfer stations, and landfills.

Program comes with a CD-ROM of written materials, including test questions and answers. English title also includes PowerPoint presentation.
