TGW Recommends for maintenance or repair purposes, to incorporate a lock out or tag
procedure. To ensure all starting devices, prime movers, or powered accessories are off before
attempting to maintenance or repair. The procedures below are designed to protect everyone
involved with the conveyor against an unexpected restart. To include understanding of potential
hazard of stored energy, which can exist after the power source is locked out.

Conveyor Design and Safety Guidelines
A safety risk evaluation is required for all of our standard equipment. The safety risk
evaluation considers every potential hazard on the conveyor, weighs the probability and the
severity of the potential injury, and addresses methods of mitigation to make the risk of injury
either low or negligible. We use the ANSI B11 TR3 standards for all of our risk evaluation.
In addition, all of our equipment is designed to comply with the following national and industry
standards: https://www.asme.org/
