Be Safe, Be Proud

OSHA-Funded Safety Videos

NSWMA developed a series of industry safety videos with the solid waste worker in mind. The videos were developed under a grant awarded by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). These videos are available in VHS or DVD formats. The 18-20 minute videos (available in English and Spanish) feature actual solid waste employees in real workplace hazard situations faced by drivers and helpers on collection routes or by workers at landfills and transfer stations. They help companies and governments reduce accidents, injuries, and fatalities.

The videos include:

• Be Safe, Be Proud focuses on workplace hazards faced by drivers and helpers on residential collection routes.
• Be Safe, Be Proud - At The Landfill focuses on landfill safety hazards faced by spotters, heavy equipment operators and other landfill employees.
• Be Safe, Be Proud - At the Transfer Station focuses on safety hazards at transfer stations faced by workers, haulers and long-haul truckers.
• Be Safe, Be Proud - Safety Awareness for Supervisors and Risk Managers shows supervisors how to train and coach collection and maintenance workers to work safely.
