15. Guarding

17. Laborer (22) 2 weeks experience Confined space area
Clothes entangled in self cleaning pulley & pulled in
Guards provided but removed & laying on ground
                

18. Best Practices Each work place examined once a shift
Prompt action to correct hazardous conditions
Moving machine parts guarded
New employees trained in safety rules & procedures
                

20. Laborer (25) 4 weeks experience Using hoe to clean under conveyor
Caught & drawn into return roller

21. Best Practice Maintenance not performed unless power off & locked out
Moving machine parts guarded

23. Laborer (38) 4 years experience
                                                                                                                                                   
4 years experience
Making adjustments to new conveyor installation
Aligning grease lines from inside conveyor frame
Caught & drawn into pulley when conveyor was started without his knowledge

24. Best Practices Maintenance not performed unless power off & locked out
                                                                                                                                                   
Maintenance not performed unless power off & locked out
Warnings provided start-up
Assure all personnel trained in safe work procedures

26. Plant Operator (18) 1 year experience Operating plant alone
Entangled in unguarded tail pulley of sand washer conveyor

27. Best Practices Moving machine parts guarded
Conveyors provided with emergency stop cords
Assure all personnel trained in safe work procedures

28. Guarding #1 Citation

29. Moving parts & pinch points Guards cannot create hazard

30. Conveyor Safety Don’t service or repair without locking out
Never walk, ride, sit or climb
Don’t wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other articles that might catch

31. Conveyor Safety Do not operate without training
Don’t overload conveying equipment
Avoid slips - all work areas clean & grease free

32. Conveyor Safety Keep body parts away from moving parts
Do not operate unless all guards in place

33. Why Take A Chance?

34. Remember… Guarding Is The Only Way To Make Machines Human Friendly
