Section 2 – Safety Considerations and Precautions

Before installing and operating the Y-Type™Secondary Belt Cleaner, it is important to review and understand the

following safety information.

There are set-up, maintenance and operational activities involving both stationary and operating conveyors. Each

case has a safety protocol.

2.1 Stationary Conveyors

The following activities are performed on stationary conveyors:

  •Installation •Bladereplacement •Repairs

  •Tensionadjustments •Cleaning

DANGER

WARNING

It is imperative that OSHA/MSHA Lockout/Tagout

(LOTO) regulations,29 CFR 1910.147, be followed before

undertaking the preceding activities. Failure to use LOTO

exposes workers to uncontrolled behavior of the belt

cleaner caused by movement of the conveyor belt. Severe

injuryordeathcanresult.

Before working:

•Lockout/Tagouttheconveyorpowersource

•Disengageanytakeups

•Cleartheconveyorbeltorclampsecurelyinplace

Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

•Safetyeyewear

•Hardhats

•Safetyfootwear

Close quarters,springs and heavy components

create a worksite that compromises a worker’s

eyes, feet and skull.

PPE must be worn to control the foreseeable

hazards associated with conveyor belt cleaners.

Seriousinjuriescanbeavoided.

2.2 Operating Conveyors

There are two routine tasks that must be performed while the conveyor is running:

  •Inspectionofthecleaningperformance

  •Dynamictroubleshooting

Every belt cleaner is an in-running nip hazard. Never

touch or prod an operating cleaner. Cleaner hazards cause

instantaneous amputation and entrapment.

Neveradjustanythingonanoperatingcleaner.

Unforeseeablebeltprojectionsandtearscan

catch on cleaners and cause violent movements

of the cleaner structure. Flailing hardware can

causeseriousinjuryordeath.

Beltcleanerscanbecomeprojectilehazards.Stayasfar

from the cleaner as practical and use safety eyewear and

headgear.Missilescaninflictseriousinjury.
