Conveyor Risk Assessment and Audit

This conveyor risk assessment and audit checklist helps food manufacturing plants evaluate conveyor safety and reliability across production areas. Inspect guarding at drive and return ends, identify pinch points, and confirm whether cleaning requires the conveyor to operate. Verify lockout procedures for maintenance and cleaning, check for isolation switches that are clearly labeled and lockable, and ensure emergency stops or lanyards are fitted and tested. Record photos, locations, dates, and preparer details, document issues, and note improvements for corrective actions. Sections cover slaughter floor, boning room, loadout, and offal conveyors, supporting regulatory compliance, reduced downtime, and proactive maintenance to keep operations safe and efficient.
