Conveyors shall not be operated unlessall covers and/or guards for the conveyorand drive unit are in place. If the conveyoris to be opened for inspection cleaning,maintenance or observation, the electricpower to the motor driving the conveyormust be LOCKED OUT in such a mannerthat the conveyor cannot be restarted byanyone; however remote from the area,until conveyor cover or guards and driveguards have been properly replaced.2. If the conveyor must have an open hous-ing as a condition of its use and applica-tion, the entire conveyor is then to beguarded by a railing or fence in accordancewith ANSI standard B20.1.(Request currentedition and addenda)3. Feed openings for shovel, front loadersor other manual or mechanical equipmentshall be constructed in such a way that theconveyor opening is covered by a grating. Ifthe nature of the material is such that agrating cannot be used, then the exposedsection of the conveyor is to be guarded bya railing or fence and there shall be a warn-ing sign posted.4. Do not attempt any maintenance orrepairs of the conveyor until power hasbeen LOCKED OUT.5. Always operate conveyor in accordancewith these instructions and those containedon the caution labels affixed to the equip-ment.6. Do not place hands, feet, or any part ofyour body, in the conveyor.7. Never walk on conveyor covers, gratingor guards.8. Do not use conveyor for any purposeother than that for which it was intended.9. Do not poke or prod material into theconveyor with a bar or stick insertedthrough the openings.10. Keep area around conveyor drive andcontrol station free of debris and obstacles.11. Eliminate all sources of stored energy(materials or devices that could cause con-veyor components to move without powerapplied) before opening the conveyor12. Do not attempt to clear a jammed con-veyor until power has been LOCKED OUT.13. Do not attempt field modification of con-veyor or components.14. Conveyors are not normally manufac-tured or designed to handle materials thatare hazardous to personnel. These materi-als which are hazardous include those thatare explosive, flammable, toxic or otherwisedangerous to personnel. Conveyors may bedesigned to handle these materials.Conveyors are not manufactured ordesigned to comply with local, state or fed-eral codes for unfired pressure vessels. Ifhazardous materials are to be conveyed orif the conveyor is to be subjected to internalor external pressure, manufacturer shouldbe consulted prior to any modifications.CEMA insists that disconnecting and lock-ing out the power to the motor driving the unitprovides the only real protection against injury.Secondary safety devices are available; how-ever, the decision as to their need and thetype required must be made by the owner-assembler as we have no information regard-ing plant wiring, plant environment, the inter-locking of the screw conveyor with otherequipment, extent of plant automation, etc.Other devices should not be used as a substi-tute for locking out the power prior to removingguards or covers. We caution that use of thesecondary devices may cause employees todevelop a false sense of security and fail tolock out power before removing covers orguards. This could result in a serious injuryshould the secondary device fail or malfunc-tion.There are many kinds of electrical devicesfor interlocking of conveyors and conveyor sys-tems such that if one conveyor in a system orprocess is stopped other equipment feeding it,or following it can also be automaticallystopped.Electrical controls, machinery guards, rail-ings, walkways, arrangement of installation,training of personnel, etc., are necessaryingredients for a safe working place. It is theresponsibility of the contractor, installer, ownerand user to supplement the materials andservices furnished with these necessary itemsto make the conveyor installation comply withthe law and accepted standards.Conveyor inlet and discharge openings aredesigned to connect to other equipment ormachinery so that the flow of material into andout of the conveyor is completely enclosed.One or more warning labels should be visi-ble on conveyor housings, conveyor coversand elevator housings. If the labels attached tothe equipment become illegible, please orderreplacement warning labels from the OEM orCEMA.The Conveyor Equipment ManufacturersAssociation (CEMA) has produced an audio-visual presentation entitled “Safe Operation ofScrew Conveyors, Drag Conveyors, andBucket Elevators.” CEMA encourages acquisi-tion and use of this source of safety informa-tion to supplement your safety program.NOTICE: This document is provided by CEMA as a service to the industry in the interest of promoting safety.
