Abstract This guide explains a method for the detection of persons on non-metallic conveyor belts leading to scrap baling machines. The system involves the emission and detection of a radiofrequency wave from an electromagnetic badge worn by the person to be protected and from a radio beacon on the conveyor. Principles for ensuring the proper implementation of this safety device are described and the main technical and regulatory requirements are highlighted.
