Operation Safety Precautions
Only a trained person shall be permitted to operate a conveyor. Training shall include
instruction in operation under normal conditions and emergency situations.
Where safety is dependent upon stopping devices or starting devices or both, they
shall be kept free of obstructions to permit ready access.
The area around loading and unloading points shall be kept clear of obstructions that
could endanger personnel.
No person shall ride on a conveyor under any circumstances.
Personnel working on or near a conveyor shall be instructed as to the location and
operation of pertinent stopping devices.
A conveyor shall be used to transport only material it is designed to handle safely.
Under no circumstances shall the safety characteristics of the conveyor be altered if
such alterations would endanger personnel.
Routine inspections and preventive and corrective installation and maintenance
programs shall be conducted to ensure that all guards and safety features and
devices are retained and function properly.
Personnel should be alerted to the potential hazard of entanglement in conveyors
caused by items such as long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry.
Conveyors shall not be newly installed, maintained, or serviced while in operation
unless proper installation, maintenance, or service requires the conveyor to be in
motion. In this case, personnel shall be made aware of the hazards and how the task
may be safely accomplished.
