Safety measures to be taken

For a safe operation of the conveyor system a number of safety measures 
are to be taken. These include the following measures: 

•

Clean floor surface

 - With a clean floor surface the operator will 

not be hindered while operating the system. This can prevent trip-
ping or slipping, so that the operator does not unexpectedly come 
into contact with the system.
