TRAINING PROCEDURES: <br />• Read, discuss, and demonstrate with employees <br />TRASH HANDLING <br />The brute type, 44 gallon plastic barrel with a twist on- and -off dolly, is an essential "tool of the <br />trade" within CSI. With the exception of vacuum cleaners, the brute is probably our most used <br />piece of equipment. <br />Emptying a brute barrel seems like a simple procedure. After all, CSI employees do this every <br />day. However, improper barrel handling or trash removal can result in back or shoulder injuries. <br />Here are a few simple tips to help you work safely and reduce the possibilities of injury: <br />Do not overfill the brute liner bag with heavy trash. Doing so will make the brute difficult <br />to roll on the dolly wheels. These wheels are small and heavy loads will cause them to <br />"catch" on floor sills, or in small floor cracks or depressions. <br />0 2. Make sure the dolly is secure to the brute barrel. If not, the barrel may slide off the dolly <br />and cause you to trip or slip and fall. <br />0 <br />3. Always use the following procedures when removing the filled trash bag from the brute <br />barrel: <br />• shake down the trash and tie off the bag <br />• remove any caddies, supplies and equipment from the barrel <br />• gently tip the barrel over toward you and lay the barrel on its side <br />• slide the trash bag out (toward you) <br />• set the barrel upright and replace the liner bag, caddies, and supplies <br />Remember, never pull the filled trash bag from a brute in its upright position. This is <br />very awkward and may lead to a painful muscle strain. <br />23 <br />
