Persons shall not cross a moving conveyor belt except

• A. With a supervisor's permission only
• B. Where suitable crossing facilities are provided
• C. Under no circumstances
• D. While the belt is moving slowly

Answer: (B)

Crossing a moving conveyor belt is dangerous because of pinch points, entanglement hazards, and the possibility of clothing or limbs being pulled into the belt. To protect workers, crossings must only occur at places specifically built for that purpose—where suitable crossing facilities are provided. These facilities are designed to keep you clear of the moving parts and often include guarded walkways, gates, or other barriers that control access and, if needed, stop or separate the belt. Relying on supervisor permission doesn't make a non-designated crossing safe, and crossing while the belt is moving slowly still exposes you to the same hazards. There are designated crossing points exactly to manage these risks, so crossing is allowed only at those facilities.
