  3. Heavy Equipment 1 Only persons trained, qualified and/or certified (as required) shall operate heavy equipment on Waste Management property.

  4. Heavy Equipment 2 Seatbelts must be worn when operating heavy equipment.

  11. Trenching/Excavation Welcome to Trenching and Excavation. The construction, servicing and/or maintenance of leachate collection systems, gas collection systems and drainage swales, to name a few, often involves working in or around trenches and/or excavations.

  12. Trenching/Excavation 1 Those not involved in the trenching or excavation operation must refrain from entering and maintain a safe distance from all trenches and excavations.

  13. Trenching/Excavation 1 I understand and agree that those not involved in the trenching or excavation operation must refrain from entering and maintain a safe distance from all trenches and excavations.

  14. Trenching/Excavation 2 Hazards commonly associated with trenching and excavation operations typically include but are not limited to: • Falls • Cave-ins • Hazardous atmospheres (including oxygen deficient atmospheres)

  15. Trenching/Excavation 2 Remember, landfill gas is heavier than air and will therefore migrate into low-lying areas such as trenches and excavations and will displace oxygen. When oxygen is displaced in this way, breathing becomes difficult or impossible.

  16. Trenching/Excavation 3 Only trained and qualified persons under the direction of a certified competent person are authorized to perform trenching/excavation activities at this Waste Management landfill facility.

  17. Trenching/Excavation 3 I understand that only trained and qualified persons under the direction of a certified competent person are authorized to perform trenching and/or excavation activities at this Waste Management landfill facility.
