ANSI Z245.41-2004 pdf download Equipment Technology and Operations for Wastes and Recyclable Materials — Facilities for the Processing of Commingled Recyclable Materials – Safety Requirements
1.1 Scope
This American National Standard is applicable to all persons who design, manufacture, assemble, modify, operate, clean, maintain, service, or repair material recovery facilities (MRFs) which engage in receiving, storing, and processing commingled recyclable materials which have been previously collected or otherwise diverted from the solid waste stream. This standard does not apply to scrap processing facilities (North American Industry Classification system code number 421 93, formerly Standard Industrial Classification number 5093), unless the scrap processing facility operates a MRF, which MRF would then be subject to this standard. The safety requirements are divided into 7 sections and are applicable as described in 1 .1 .1 through 1 .1 .3.
1.1.1 Sections 1 through 3 provide general information and definitions and shall apply to all material recovery facilities (MRFs) covered by this standard.
1.1.2 Sections 4 through 6 provide for physical plant, processing machinery and mobile equipment requirements that shall apply to both new and existing MRFs.
1.1.3 Section 7 provides for safety programs and safety requirements that shall apply to both new and existing MRFs.
1.2 Purpose This standard establishes safety requirements with respect to the design, manufacture, installation, reconstruction, modification, maintenance, and operation of facilities for the processing of commingled recyclable materials.
1.3 Effective date The effective date of sections four, five, and six of this standard for existing facilities shall be two (2) years after the approval date of this standard by the American National Standards Institute. Training and employer requirements sections shall be effective six (6) months after the approval date of this standard. All facilities placed in operation eighteen (1 8) months after the approval date of this standard shall be designed, constructed and operated in accordance with the requirements of this standard.
