Austin Resource Recovery Department

In 2023, the department began using electronic forms on supervisor and safety personnel phones and tablets for them to perform scheduled gate checks at the yard, inspecting for policy compliance and equipment inspection compliance. . The application allowed for the results of the inspection to be delivered immediately via email to the driver’s immediate supervisor to address the compliance issue with the employee. These leading indicators then became the focus for the Safety Team to begin inspecting these high-priority items in the field.
