OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) rules for conveyor belts are designed to protect workers from potential hazards. Key rules include: Guarding: Conveyor belts must have guards installed to protect employees from moving parts, pinch points, and falling objects. Lockout/Tagout Procedures: Procedures must be in place to ensure that conveyors are de-energized and cannot be started accidentally during maintenance. Emergency Stops: Conveyor systems must have clearly marked emergency stop controls. Regular Inspections: Conveyors should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure they are in safe working condition. Training: Employees working with or near conveyor belts should be trained on safe operation procedures and emergency response.
