CEMA safety labels are the danger, warning, and caution decals that mark hazards on conveyor equipment. ASME B20.1 requires the warnings, and CEMA supplies them. We select the labels, apply them during assembly, and verify them before your conveyor ships.
The CEMA Safety Committee develops the labels and the placement guidelines behind them, and publishes both as consensus advice for members and non-members. We work from that guidance.
Each label carries a written hazard message and a pictogram. “Danger,” “Warning,” and “Caution” grade severity as ANSI Z535.4 defines them, so the wording is consistent across equipment classes.
The full program is documented in CEMA Brochure 201. The labels and placement guidelines are published free on CEMA's website, so the placement sheet governing your conveyor is available without buying the brochure.
CEMA organizes placement guidelines into sheets by equipment category. These CEMA sheets apply to Fluent equipment.
CEMA doesn’t publish a placement sheet for roller chain conveyors. The hazards are the same ones the bulk belt sheet addresses, at the same locations, so the label set on a pan, hinged steel, or rubber combo machine comes from our own hazard review.
Screw, drag, and bucket conveyors, pneumatic equipment, palletizers, and the non-powered and live roller categories have their own sheets and are outside our product scope.
Placement corresponds to specific conveyor hazards. Guards, stop devices, and labels go on during assembly.
We can apply labels before shipping or send for self-application as desired. We apply and verify by default, but buyers who paint, wrap, or commission on-site often prefer to have labels shipped loose. The label set and its locations go into your documentation package by request.
A label communicates a hazard. It does not remove one. B20.1 establishes that a hazard requires guarding, ANSI B11.19 defines what counts as an adequate guard, and our guide to conveyor guarding requirements works through the requirements that follow.
Labels sit alongside lockout procedures, emergency stop coverage, operator training, and a site hazard assessment. Four documents govern the label design and placement.
Label content and where each one belongs by equipment type. Voluntary guidance, written by manufacturers for manufacturers and users.
Conveyor design, installation, maintenance, and operation in relation to hazards. A consensus standard, enforceable once a contract, specification, or regulation adopts it.
How a product safety label is designed, worded, and applied. CEMA labels follow it, which is why the signal words and color coding match other industrial equipment. Our standards overview maps how the bodies relate.
Workplace accident prevention signs and tags. A regulation with force of law, landing on the employer rather than the manufacturer.
We do not stock replacement labels. Order from CEMA and match the designation on the original. That designation encodes orientation, then stock, then the label number: CHR930001 and CHS930001 carry the same message, one on regular duty stock for interior service and one on severe duty for exterior and harsh environments. Horizontal labels run 5 × 2.5 inches, vertical 3 × 2.5 inches. Duty stock follows the operating environment you give us at quote.
Added transfer points, reversed direction, a new access path, a relocated machine, or automatic start introduced during a controls upgrade change the label set and placement requirements. Send us your conveyor serial number, and we will check the current configuration against the as-built.
Send your conveyor type, indoor or outdoor service, walkway and maintenance access arrangement, controls scope including whether the line starts automatically, and any internal EHS labeling specification you are held to. Our engineers will confirm which labels apply and where they land before drawings are released.
