The National Solid Wastes Management Association (NSWMA) has developed a series of safety videos for solid waste companies and local governments under an OSHA grant. These videos are 18-25 minutes long and were developed with the solid waste worker in mind. The four videos use music, humor, and stories and show actual solid waste equipment, vehicle and employees to emphasis the importance of working safely.
NSWMA also offers a weekly Safety Newsletter and provides customized Safety Training. Contact David Biderman at davidb@envasns.org for more information.
The four videos are available on VHS or DVD:
Be Safe, Be Proud

The Landfill (Video/DVD)
