For the first time ever, you’ll be able to calculate your Return On Conveyor Safety™ with our compilation of worldwide best practices.
Conveyors are one of the best productivity-enhancing tools available, but conveyor injuries cost employers millions of dollars annually. The main hazards related to belt conveyors are mechanical, including moving components that can cause damage by entrapment in nip points, abrasion and burns, as well as pinching zones that can cause damage by shearing and crushing.
All of these hazards are preventable with the right training, preparation and safety precautions. Because of the size of their material cargos, the speed of their operation, and the amount of energy they consume and contain, conveyors have shown to be a leading cause of industrial accidents, including serious injuries and fatalities.
In the last 10 years, safety has come to the forefront. Governing bodies are expanding regulatory pressures and requirements and enforcing large fines for violators.
Martin Engineering works side-by-side with experts in all the industries we serve worldwide who are fully committed to the safety of their employees. These relationships, developed over the last 70+ years, have given us a unique perspective on the role that conveyor safety has in a company’s success. We’ve gathered this collection of worldwide best practices together in a single resource, to demonstrate the methodology behind calculating the Return On Conveyor Safety™ so you can quantify the true value of conveyor safety. The Foundations™ for Conveyor Safety book is the world’s first collection of worldwide best practices and joins our Foundations™ series of books and seminars. This comprehensive 300+ page textbook is devoted exclusively to conveyor safety.
