Notice of Work Environment and Occupational Hazards

The wastewater industry presents hazards due to exposure to biological and chemical risks, as well as physical dangers, including but not limited to confined spaces, slips, falls, wet and/or humid conditions, high and/or low altitude, moving mechanical parts, elevated and/or precarious locations, fumes and/or airborne particles, outdoor weather conditions, extreme cold, extreme heat, risk of electrical shock, vibration, sewage, epoxy coatings, solvents, and excessive noise levels.

Employees may come into contact with wastewater that contains human waste. Wastewater contains various bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause diseases in humans and animals. Workers may be exposed through contact with wastewater, aerosols containing pathogens, or contaminated equipment. Wastewater treatment processes also involve the use of various chemicals, some of which can be toxic or corrosive.

It is essential that employees wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow safety protocols. While not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that employees stay current with vaccinations, including Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Tetanus, and Diphtheria.
