Conveyor Guards to protect fingers

Writer's picture: Boeta SteynBoeta Steyn

Conveyor systems are a popular and efficient way to handle materials, products and packages yet they also pose dangers to the team working on them if there are insufficient safety guards.


By implementing appropriate guards, conducting regular maintenance, and providing comprehensive training, businesses can create a safer work environment.


There are numerous varieties of conveyors such as flat belt, chain and screw or power roller. Most operate on the same basic principles and have similar hazards.


Most serious accidents and fatalities involving conveyors result from inadequate guarding, between component parts: the Discharge plate/roller, pulleys, conveyor frame, projecting shaft and/or belt cleats and belt fasteners.
