Abstract
In order to appropriately operate and maintain any landfill facility, while also conserving the surrounding environment and protecting the health and safety of residents living nearby, it is important to fully understand all of the facility components and their functions. In order to uphold this, the National Federation of Industrial Waste Management Association (NFIWMA), which is comprised of Industrial Waste Management Companies, has organized various working groups to address all issues associated with waste management ; investigating and solving waste management issues such as collection and transportation, incineration and landfill. The groups collected a range of information on the quality and quantity of industrial waste, examples of accidents and their countermeasures, and other pertinent data, and collated them to publish the Manual of Landfill Operation and Maintenance Management for Industrial Waste in 2006 as the outcome of their work. Furthermore, NFIWMA has been made significant efforts to upgrade the technical skills in the field of SWM and to achieve safe and appropriate management, such endeavors can be seen in the regular conducting of sectional meetings and skill-upgradation training workshops on landfill operation and maintenance for all members who are using this manual. The above-mentioned activities have been summarized in this paper.
