Best Practices:
Secure all conveyor covers in place during normal operation. Keep tools, clothing, and body parts away from moving conveyors.
De-energize, lock out, tag out, and block machinery against hazardous motion before performing repairs or maintenance. Never perform work on a moving conveyor.
Examine work areas and equipment. Report defects to miners and assure defects are corrected and recorded. Test emergency shut-off devices frequently."
