Safety Devices; Emergency Stops And Restarts; Operation Safety Precautions - Honeywell Pallet Accuglide ZoneFlex Accumulation Conveyor Maintenance Manual

Safety Instructions
loading areas, transfer points, and other potentially hazardous locations on the
equipment path not guarded by location, position, or guards, shall be furnished with
emergency stop buttons, pull cords, limit switches, or similar emergency stop
devices. All such emergency stop devices shall be easily identifiable in the
immediate vicinity of such locations unless guarded by location, position, or guards.
Where the design, function, and operation of such equipment clearly is not
hazardous to personnel, an emergency stop device is not required. The emergency
stop device shall act directly on the control of the equipment concerned and shall not
depend on the stopping of any other equipment. The emergency stop devices shall
be installed so that they cannot be overridden from other locations.
Inactive and unused actuators, controllers, and wiring should be removed from
control stations and panel boards, together with obsolete diagrams, indicators,
control labels, and other material which may confuse the operator.
1.6

Safety Devices

All safety devices, including wiring of electrical safety devices, shall be arranged to
operate so that a power failure or failure of the device itself will not result in a
hazardous condition.
1.6.1

Emergency Stops and Restarts

The controls shall be arranged so that, in case of emergency stop, manual reset or
start at the location where the emergency stop was initiated shall be required of the
conveyor(s) and associated equipment to resume operation.
Before restarting the equipment that has been stopped because of an emergency, an
inspection of the conveyor shall be made and the cause of the stoppage determined.
The starting device shall be locked or tagged out before any attempt is made to
remove the cause of the stoppage, unless operation is necessary to determine the
cause or to safely remove the stoppage. Refer to American National Standard
Institute's Control of Hazardous Energy - Lockout/Tagout and Alternative
Methods (ANSI Z244.1) and The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout)
(OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.147).
