CEMA Technical Report 2015-01 presents a systematic approach to risk assessment for conveyor and material handling systems. The publication outlines a step-by-step process for identifying hazards, evaluating risk based on severity and probability, implementing risk reduction strategies, and determining acceptable residual risk using ALARP principles. The report includes risk scoring matrices, worked examples, and extensive hazard checklists covering a wide range of conveyor systems and operating conditions. Referenced by industry safety standards and based on established methodologies such as ANSI B11 TR3 and MIL-STD 882, this document serves as a practical framework for developing and implementing effective risk assessment programs.
