The Energy Recovery Council is pleased to partner with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) through its Alliance program.  This cooperative program enables organizations committed to safety and health to work with OSHA to prevent injuries, illnesses and fatalities in the workplace. OSHA and Alliance participants work together to reach out to, educate, and lead the nation’s employers and their employees in advancing workplace safety and health. Groups that can form an Alliance with OSHA include employers, labor unions, trade or professional groups, and educational institutions.  Through this program, ERC and OSHA have created the SAFETY: DO IT FOR LIFE campaign aimed at educating and protecting trash haulers that bring fuel to waste-to-energy facilities every day.  For more information, please click here.

The Energy Recovery Council is proud to join the Columbia University Earth Engineering Center in support of the Waste-to-Energy Research and Technology Council (WTERT).  WTERT brings together engineers and scientists from industry, federal, state and local governments, and universities from around the world. These dedicated individuals believe in integrated waste management and strive to increase the global recovery of materials and energy from used solids. In particular, the mission of the WTERT Council is to advance both the economic and environmental performance of waste-to-energy technologies.
