Abstract
The workers in the recycling industry have to deal with various kinds of toxic and harmful substances in wastes on a regular basis. Due to the unique high-risk operations and processes in the recycling industry, the occupational safety and health (OSH) management system for general working environments requires serious modifications to better safeguard the health of workers. In this project, the existing OSH working environment and operational practices have been reviewed. Accordingly, effective OSH management program has been established for the recycling industry. The subsequent implementation will enable systematic OSH management to collect injury statistical data, identify mitigation measures and thus improve the OSH performance. ©2009 IEEE.
