It was reported to Integrity that management in a certain facility are jogging a conveyor that gets backed up almost every night using the disconnect switch for the motor.

This is dangerous.

This is not consistent with UPS safety methods.

Does this happen in your facility?

Anything to add?

I
yes this happens in my building. It is not encouraged by management. However they do look the other way, because it saves them from staffing an extra employee.

Now that I think about it, there is one unique scenario in which management does this every single day.

Oh well. Their problem, not mine.
