When establishing capacity, all formal recycling establishments must limit the number of persons, including staff, contractors and customers physically present in a recycling establishment at any given time to not exceeding one person for every nine square metres. The calculation of the maximum number of people permitted in the recycling establishment must be based on the net floor space where people can freely move around, not considering divisions such as walls, fixtures, fittings, etc. and others that occupy floor space. The following formula must be applied: |
N =F/9
N = Number of people allowed in the recycling establishment space
F = clear floor space of the site in square metres (excluding space occupied by walls, fixtures and fittings).
