§ 45.53. Conveyors.
(a) Conveyors for slashers. The conveyor taking material to the slasher saws shall be equipped with a clutch, tight and loose pulley, or other automatic power-disconnecting device. Means shall be provided for operating this device from the platform of the sorter.
(b) Chain hauls. In case of chain hauls, the return run of the chain in the basement shall be supported over passageways so that, in the event of breaking, it does not fall on anyone.
(c) Return run. If the return run of conveyors operates within seven feet of the floor, there shall be provided a shallow trough of sufficient strength to carry the weight resulting from a broken chain. If over 7 feet from the floor, a means shall be provided to catch and support the ends of the chains, in the event of a break over passageways or runways.
