The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI) is hosting an operations forum for scrap recycling plant managers in the shadow of the Alamo in San Antonio, Jan. 20-23, 2005.
Billed by ISRI as “a conference for persons responsible for the safe and efficient operation of scrap recycling facilities,” the ISRI Operations Forum will include educational sessions and tours of scrap facilities in the San Antonio area.
Among the topics covered at the Forum will be shredder and hydraulics maintenance, safety and environmental management, transportation issues and a separate session on metals and commodities identification.
Detailed descriptions and maintenance suggestions for several types of equipment will be offered, including for conveyors, cranes, loaders, shredders, castings, electric motors and magnetic separation equipment.
Human resources topics addressed will include safety programs, hiring and firing, humor and harassment, substance abuse and multi-cultural considerations.
Also offered will be tours of San Antonio area facilities, including a scrap processing site and a scrap consuming facility.
