In the industry, conveyor safety is generally considered part of General Safety. This Practice does not give sufficient attention to the nuances required to provide for a safe conveyor system. In addition, the planning, design, implementation, operation and maintenance are often fragmented. In the absence of an OSHA conveyor safety performance standard, adequate safety training must be provided by the owner.
