WISHful thinking
http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/wish.htm
In the next 25 minutes or so….
• The legacy of the past
• WISHful beginnings- The formation of WISH- The membership of WISH
• WISHes fulfilled- The work of WISH to date- The achievements to date
• WISHing for the future- The new WISH strategy and structure- The Road Map or “blueprint”
http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/wish.htm
The issues, the challenge.
• The legacy of the past- A neglected and unappreciated industry?- Seen as the problem, not the solution- Poor practices and high accident rates
• Increasing recycling not increasing increase injury and ill health- increasing collection effort- increasing workforce
• New technology, new injuries and potential health impacts- Move away from Landfill toward
processing- MRF, MBT, AD, IVC, EfW
http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/wish.htm
The legacy of the past
• Accident rates in the waste industry - Fatal injuries 2003/4
The Industry with the highest rate of fatal injury is the recycling of waste and scrap where the rate is nearly 40 times the national average.
http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/wish.htm
• Accident rates in the waste industry - Bomel Report
“Damming research was published yesterday by the HSE which showed that around 4,000 accidents are reported by the waste industry each year, or approximately 2,500 per 100,000 workers. This is nearly five times the national average accident rate, and the fatal incident rate of 10 in 100,000 is ten times the national average.”
http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/rr240.htm
“The research, conducted by Bomel Limited, was based on 2001/02 figures and revealed that incidents were mainly reported from refuse or recycling collection crews manually sorting the waste.”

Objective 1: Accident performanceReduce the overall RIDDOR reported accident rate by 10% year on year (2005/6 baseline) by December 2013.
Objective 3: Management of health and safetyGain widespread adoption of safety management systems such as those consistent with HSG 65[1] principles or compliant with OHSAS 18001. Publication of a simple online self assessment checklist could be used to help organisations identify whether they are meet these standards and provide information to help monitor progress with this objective. Large organisations may choose to benchmark themselves on the CHASPI index (www.chaspi.info-exchange.com).
Objective 2: Number of working days lostWISH will produce a standard format for measuring the number of working days lost due to occupational health and safety incidents[1]. This will be used to analyse/ sample performance to promote engagement at company/ organisation level.WISH will establish and task a working group to identify metrics and agree a strategy to reduce the number of working days lost within 24 months.
Objective 5: CompetenceIncrease the level of competence within the industry, in line with the WISH “Commitment to competence” statement[1]. WISH will establish and task a working group to identify metrics for measuring progress with the Commitment to competence and agree a competence strategy within 24 months.
Objective 4: Health and safety climate and attitudes
Improve attitudes within the workforce to health and safety. Develop and promote a climate survey tool that enables small and medium size organisations to measure the attitudes to health and safety within their workforce and identify areas where improvements can be made.
WISH Strategy 2009
• StrategyLaunched on 14 January 2009 Had five key commitments
Reduce Accidents by 10% year on year
Measure and then reduce working days lost
Adoption of safety management systems
Improvement in climate and attitudes
Increase levels of competence

Achievements to date
• RR701 BOMEL II - Accident rates fell by 15% from 03/04 to 07/08.
WISHes fulfilled
HSE's Head of Manufacturing Sector, Geoff Cox said: "There has been a lot of work by all parties to improve the industry's poor record since we published the first analysis of the injury rates in 2004.”
"The declining performance at the beginning of this decade has been halted and we can now see improvements that equate to 800 fewer injuries per year.”
http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/rr701.htm
http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/wish.htm
Achievements to date
• HSE 2012/13 annual report- Accident rates fell by 2.4% in 2012/13.
WISHes fulfilled
HSE's Head of Waste and Recycling, Graham Walker said: "Waste and recycling remains one of Britain’s higher risk industries. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure the number of people killed or harmed in this sector is reduced year on year.
“Though the numbers are slightly down on last year, too many people still fail to return home safely from work and we are continuing to work together with the industry to change this”
http://www.hse.gov.uk/aboutus/reports/1213/
http://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/wish.htm
• WISH is committed to change by: - Establishing and sharing best practice- Improving the safety performance of the industry- Developing the competence of those who work in the industry- Improving perception of the waste industry as a safe place to work
WISHing for change
“You must be the change that you wish to see in the world”Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win”.
• We need your help
John F Kennedy (1917-1963)

For discussion….
• Culture and motivation- The perception of the public- The effects of that perception
• Duty of Care and waste descriptions- Waste description responsibility – EWC- Transfer notes and the current EA prosecution approach- EDoC
• Recycling- Should energy be considered as a recyclate?- Judging the environmental benefits of recycling
• RDF, SRF and waste fires- Waste export and producer responsibility- Waste fires, the public, the politicians, resilience and reputational risk.
• Case examples
