Standards: Ind., OSHA, ANSI

Standards for the safe manufacturing, installation, and operation of compactors are governed by the ANSI Z245.2 industry standards. These guidelines are developed by the industry and it is the responsibility of each manufacturer to interpret and enact these standards. SP Industries is proud to be a part of this process by providing leadership to this group. Denny Pool, our president, has served as the chairman of the compactor committee since 2002. Our commitment to quality, safety, and value are traditions that we hold dear.

Also, we recommend that you be familiar with current OSHA guidelines for safe machinery operation. You can learn more about OSHA by visiting their website or visiting their online training blog. Your local community, state, or other governing body may also have regulations pertaining to the operation of waste equipment. It is also important that you review the safety information that comes with your machinery with the safety supervisors at your company.

If you have questions about the safe operation of your SP Industries machinery, please contact us and we will help you find the answers you need to use our equipment safely. Never use a machine that you believe to be unsafe. Remember, you are the first step in the safety process and it is your responsibility to operate and maintain a safe working atmosphere.
