CONVEYORS - TRANSPORT SAFETY

These are sometimes used to transport materials e.g. minerals, metals, slates and tiles from one place to another, for example from the ground level to the roof of the structure.

Hazards
  • Nips or traps between moving parts
  • Traps between moving and fixed part
  • Traps and nips created by the drive mechanism
  • Sharp edges of guard rails
  • Entanglement
  • Electricity
  • Noise



Precautions

It is important to ensure the safe use of conveyor belts, and we will discuss the precise type of machine guarding required for each different type of conveyor belt after we have examined the general points to be considered to ensure the safe use of conveyor belts

Provision of arrangements for lubrication whilst allowing guards to remain in position e.g. through suitably positioned small openings for maintenance access which do not permit access to the danger zone.
