    From your experience, what would you say is the one thing that all e-waste recycling and/or scrapers doing that is done correctly? Also what is the one thing that most do wrong?

    bigburtchino,
    Thank you for your question. I believe that most recyclers that I have observed have a good sense of the physical hazards in the workplace and they have developed appropriate (but could be improved upon) controls to safeguard employees like personal protective equipment, training and equipment checklists. The concern that I have with recyclers is not being able to control chemical hazards, especially with universal waste. The majority are unprepared to properly handle and clean up leaks and spills with products such as CRT and batteries. You have given me the idea that this may be one of the first posts that I put up on this site.
