Where is crossing a belt conveyor considered safe?

Crossing a belt conveyor is considered safe at designated crossover or crossunder locations because these areas are specifically designed for the purpose of safely crossing over or under the conveyor. These designated spots typically include safety features such as guardrails, warning signs, and proper alignment with the conveyor's design, which help minimize the risk of accidents while crossing.

In contrast, crossing at any random space on the conveyor or in the middle can expose individuals to serious hazards, such as moving machinery or spillage. Additionally, crossing at the entrance of the mine lacks the appropriate safety measures and is not specifically designated for that purpose, making it a potentially risky choice. Understanding the importance of these designated locations is crucial for ensuring safety in environments where conveyor systems operate.
