OHS Learnings from Conveyor Modifications

 
 It was one of those challenging projects were nothing was ever going to be easy.
In simple terms it was a modification to a section of continuous production line for a food product.  The whole line from start to finish is about 300 metres.  I was modifying a section with fixed conveyors plus process plant which was about 30 metres in length.  Without going into detail, I had a Sunday, 24 hour window to pull out a section of conveyor and modify a second section.
