Descrição: Unlike other viruses and diseases, COVID-19 seemingly came out of nowhere, spreading quickly, overwhelming some hospital systems and sending the U.S. through its supplies of PPE, masks, hand sanitizer, toilet paper and ventilators. Figure 2 KEY OUTCOMES The following five sectors represented three-quarters of the respondents in this survey (Figure 2): Waste haulers (21 percent) Consulting firms (16 percent) Municipalities (13 percent) Government agencies (e.g., state/federal) (13 percent) Academic institutions (12 percent) While all sectors included in this survey reported being impacted by the pandemic (Figure 2), academic institutions were among the most impacted, which, given that most of them shut down for the spring semester, is not surprising. The top five concerns expressed by employees were (Figure 3): (Note that the below are concerns of possible issues, not verified issues.) Exposure on the job General concern of safety/health or fear of catching the virus (not particularly job-related) Having proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and related supplies Job security or reduced work hours Exposure during waste collection/management Figure 3 While municipal employees were more vocal about their concerns about the coronavirus, one-third of waste haulers who responded to the survey received concerns from employees about exposure risks during collection and management of municipal solid waste. Of those who are managing waste differently, general municipal solid waste is being managed differently more often than recycling or medical waste streams due to COVID-19 concerns (Figure 9).
