BIR World Recycling Convention: Launch of new Survey on Shredder Safety

During the latest World Recycling Convention (online) organized by the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR), the Shredder Committee focused on safety issues.

Sharing information is regarded as one of the most effective ways to improve safety around shredder installations. Therefore, Christopher J. Bedell (Senior Vice President and General Counsel for The David J. Joseph Company, USA) called for a safety “summit” to be held once operators had had an opportunity to digest the contents of the newly-launched BIR Shredder Safety Survey Report for 2019 (https://bir.org/images/BIR_Publications/Report_on_the_BIR_Shredder_Safety_Survey_for_2019_-_FINAL.pdf).
