Guard Against Conveyor Injuries!

Conveyors are very common in workplaces and may present serious safety hazards. Conveyor-related injuries can be life-altering and even fatal. Preventing such injuries must be in the forefront of every workplace safety program.

Work related hazards include:

1. Missing guards
2. Improperly installed guarding
3. Residual hazardous energy
4. Performing repetitive actions without rest

Employers should:

1. Train workers about the guarding and lockout procedures specific to their job
2. Ask workers to report unsafe conditions to their supervisor
3. Identify job related machine hazards and work together to implement solutions
4. Follow up to make sure solutions are working
5. Comply with all of their other duties under the OHSA and applicable regulations
