MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE AND FOLLOW-UP DETAILS
While performing maintenance do not wear loose clothing.
Immediately report any hazardous conditions--sharp edges,
pinch (or nip) points or other conditions that may result when
several manufacturers supply machinery which may create
operating hazards.
When using mechanical aids such as hoists, cables, or cranes
exercise extreme caution to prevent damage to conveyors or other
integrated machinery which may create a working hazard when
maintenance is completed and units are in operation.
Clean up any spilled lubricants or other materials used in the
maintenance process or those which may be deposited during unit
operation. Eliminating poor housekeeping practices increases unit
efficiency while creating safer personnel working conditions.
After maintenance, conduct visual inspection to ensure that all
safety devices and guards have been replaced. Confirm that all
units are clear of tools, debris or other items. Before starting
conveyor, check condition of conveyor warning labels (see
“WARNING LABELS” at front of handbook). If labels have been
destroyed or are not clearly legible, call 870.483.7631 to receive
replacement labels. Placement of warning labels is critical to
avoid unauthorized unit operation which may result in hazardous
working conditions for all related personnel coming in contact with
conveyor.
Warn personnel that conveyor is being prepared for start-up and
to stay clear of unit. Do not start conveyor until all personnel are
clear. When maintenance is completed, only authorized personnel
shall be permitted to start conveyor following maintenance or other
emergency shut-off.
One of the most important guidelines for maximizing conveyor
operation and personnel safety is to implement a regular mainte-
nance schedule and train personnel on the appropriate needs of
the specific unit.
Only trained personnel shall perform maintenance functions.
Before maintenance operations are performed, conveyor must
be shut “OFF” and disconnects locked in the “OFF” position to
prevent unit from unauthorized start-up during maintenance. All
personnel should be informed of the safety procedures associated
with unit maintenance and performance.
Do not perform any work on conveyors or conveyor system
while in operation unless it is impossible to otherwise conduct
adjustment, lubrication or other maintenance function. Only
experienced, trained personnel possessing advanced hazards-train-
ing should attempt such critical operations.
Only trained personnel shall perform maintenance functions. Before maintenance operations are performed, conveyor
must be shut “OFF” and disconnects locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unit from unauthorized start-up.
Only trained personnel shall perform maintenance functions. When maintenance is completed, only autho-
rized personnel shall be permitted to start conveyor following maintenance or other emergency shut-off.
