3、ety Requirements Secretariat Environmental Industry Associations Approved March 27, 2012 American National Standards Institute, Inc. American National Standard Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria
4、 for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not ne
5、cessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the stand
6、ards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, n
7、o person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTI

25、e 1 American National Standard for Equipment Technology and Operations for Wastes and Recyclable Materials Waste Transfer Station Safety Requirements Introduction This standard was developed by Accredited Standards Committee Z245 Subcommittee 4 on Facilities and approved by American National Standar
26、ds Institute Accredited Standards Committee Z245. This standard establishes safety requirements with respect to the design, manufacture, installation, reconstruction, modification, maintenance, and operation of waste transfer station facilities for the collection, storage, processing, and eventual t
27、ransportation of solid waste and recyclable materials. The requirements contained in this standard pertain to the designers, owners, operators, employees and customers of waste transfer stations. Where transfer stations and material recovery facilities are co-located, the material storage requiremen
28、ts in Z245.41 shall apply. Exceptions and notes contained in the standard apply to the clause or sub-clause in which they are contained or to which they reference. Exceptions pertain to normative requirements. Notes are informative and provide guidance for the evaluation of a normative requirement.
29、The units of distance measurement used in this standard are in the inch-pound system. When a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses (metric) the second value is only approximate. The first value is the requirement. 1. Scope 1.1 This American National Standard is a
30、pplicable to all persons who design, manufacture, assemble, modify, operate, clean, maintain, service, repair, or use transfer station facilities that engage in collecting, receiving, storing, processing, and eventual transportation of solid waste and recyclable materials. For purposes of this stand
31、ard, a waste transfer station shall be deemed a facility with a tipping floor and may or may not also provide for a public drop- off area for solid waste. 1.2 Sections 1 through 3 provide general information and definitions and shall apply to all waste transfer stations covered by this standard. 1.3
32、 Sections 4 through 6 provide for physical plant, processing machinery and mobile equipment requirements that shall apply to both new and existing waste transfer stations. 1.4 Section 7 provides for safety programs and safety requirements that shall apply to both new and existing waste transfer stat
