1.8 Installation and Maintenance Safety
Installation and Maintenance shall be performed only by qualified and trained
personnel.
It is important to establish an installation and maintenance program to ensure all
conveyor components are maintained in a condition which does not constitute a
hazard to personnel.
When a conveyor is stopped during installation or for maintenance, starting devices
or powered accessories shall be locked or tagged out in accordance with a
formalized procedure designed to protect all persons or groups involved with the
conveyor against an unexpected start. Personnel should be alerted to the hazard of
stored energy, which may exist after the power source is locked out. Refer to ANSI
Z244.1-1982, American National Standard for Personnel Protection -
Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources - Minimum Safety Requirements, and OSHA
Standard 29 CFR 1910.147, “The Control of Hazardous Energy
(Lockout/Tagout).”
Additionally, the conveyor equipment is designed and manufactured to comply with
the “Safety Standard for Conveyors and Related Equipment” (ASME B20.1) and
ANSI / PMMI B155.1 Packaging Related Converting Machinery-Safety
Requirements for Construction, Care, and Use, and B15.1 Safety Standard for
Mechanical Power Transmission apparatus.
Beginning with the 2006 release of ANSI/PMMI B155.1, Risk Assessments are
required by both the manufacturer of package related equipment and by the User of
equipment.
Replace all safety devices and guards before starting equipment for normal
operation.
Conveyors shall not be lubricated while in operation unless it is impractical to shut
them down for lubrication. Only trained and qualified personnel who are aware of the
hazards of the conveyor in motion shall be allowed to lubricate a conveyor that is
operating.
Guards and safety devices shall be maintained in a serviceable and operational
condition. Warning signs shall be maintained in a legible and operational condition.
Examples of warning signs are shown later in this section.
