Before attempting to secure a conveyor belt, you must ensure you’re staying safe. Conveyor safety should be a paramount concern, which means cutting the power to the machinery and wearing the right work gear.

You can use the emergency stop button to shut off the power immediately (emergency stops are crucial in preventing further damage or bodily harm should you need to unjam the belt quickly). Plus, it’s important to let your colleagues know you’re changing belts just in case anyone decides to start up the conveyor systems while you’re working on them.

Make sure you announce when you’ve secured the belt as well, and when you plan on turning the system back on – you wouldn’t want to catch someone off guard and cause an avoidable accident.
