Staten Island Landfill Debris Disposal Operation Health and Safety Program
Training requirements:
Grapple Operators are both contractors and employees of DSNY who will be on the job site continuously. Each employer
must provide documentation of training (operator certificate or certified letter). The certificate/letter must indicate that
each equipment operator has been trained in the proper operation of the equipment. Operators must be trained in the
use of respiratory protection. This training will most likely be provided by the employers of the operators, but an
amended form of respiratory protection training will be available on-site. Operators will be offered to receive initial
respiratory training, fit testing, and limited medical evaluations as part of their site orientation, if needed.
3.3 FRONT-END LOADER OPERATORS
This includes workers operating front-end loaders. This workforce includes employees from private
contractors and employees of DSNY at the barge operations. These workers will be in the
