Crew Safety
Biffa employees and waste operators across the country continue to face the threat of reckless drivers. Biffa is committed to working with Wealden District Council to raise awareness of the social unacceptability of driving recklessly on pavements to help protect the safety of our crews and the public and have produced a short video showing the dangers faced by collection crews whilst going about their work.
