Belt Conveyors

Hazards:

•Belt conveyor drive mechanisms and conveying mediums

•Conveyor take-up and discharge ends

•Where the belt or chain enters or exists the in-going nip point

•Where the belt wraps around pulleys

•Snub rollers where the belt changes direction such as take ups

•Where multiple conveyors are adjoined

•On transfers or deflectors used with belt conveyor

Hazard Controls:

-Nip and shear points must be safeguarded
