Conveyors

There are many industries where in-process and finished goods are transported by conveyor. While widely seen in manufacturing facilities, conveyors are prevalent in other industries such as agriculture, manual material handling, and retail grocery stores. Conveyors reduce manual material handling requirements by eliminating carrying tasks. However, conveyors can introduce new risk factors to the workplace since employees must retrieve goods from them.
