Free Webinar on Best Practices for Conveyor Safety by Boyce Bonham, Chair of the CEMA Safety Committee (Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association) With so many warehouses and distribution centers utilizing conveyors to facilitate load movement and transport, they’ve almost become part of the landscape and easy to take for granted. And yet, as safety is a top priority when integrating any automation — including conveyors — into a warehouse operation, it is critical to exercise caution in both their use and maintenance.
