1.7.1 BIOHAZARD FROM COMPOSTING ACTIVITIES
The Big Hanna Composter is in comparison with larger composting facilities a very small system. The
exposure to fungus, spores etc is therefore minimal for a worker in both quantity and time spent with
the biologically active material inside the cylinder. In larger facilities there are documented cases
where workers full time working with composting material (i.e. working in tractors turning
composting windrows) have contracted lung diseases including asthma. When working with the
active material in the cylinder we recommend the same PPE as for bigger facilities. The inspection of
the material inside the cylinder should not take more than a few minutes a week, the rest of the time
the biological process is in a closed in-vessel system so there is no need for particle filter P3 breathing
masks when being in the vicinity of the machine itself.
1.7.2 PATHOGENS IN THE FOOD WASTE
Handled correctly and according to instructions the composting process eliminates pathogens that
may be present in food waste, like salmonella, e-coli, etc. In order to prevent pathogens spreading
from the food waste to other areas within the workplace (or to the finished compost) we recommend
that protective clothing and gloves are used whilst feeding the food waste into the machine.

These clothing/gloves should not be the same as the ones used when working with the compost
since there is a risk for re-contaminating the compost.
1.7.3 SLIPS AND TRIPS DUE TO SPILLAGE
Accidental spillage of food waste around the machine can cause slips and trips. Employees must be
instructed to take care to prevent spillage. If there is spillage this must be cleaned up immediately.
1.7.4 PEST CONTROL
Big Hanna is an in-vessel system with a temperature of 50-60
o
C, which makes it uninhabitable for
vermin. Stored food waste on site or accidental spillage of food waste around the machine can cause
problems with vermin. If food waste is stored on site a separate risk assessment must be carried out.
Employees must be instructed to take care to prevent spillage. If there is spillage this must be cleaned
up immediately.
1.7.5 OPERATIONAL RISKS INVOLVING MACHINERY
All moving parts are covered and tools needed/safety switch in place in order to come in contact with
moving parts. All personnel must be informed that the Big Hanna Composter works on a timer
function and therefore must be isolated at the main switch before any work is done on the composter.
 Before removing any part of the hood by tools.

Before going into an electrical cabinet to reset fuses etc.
1.7.6 OPERATIONAL TRAINING
It is the sole responsibility of the owner of the machine that all staff receives the training that they
require in order to safely operate the Big Hanna Composter. For the operational training there is a
check-list in the ‘Installation Manual’. Some tasks may require specific qualifications due to site specific
regulations.
