8 cues in forceWhole machine, guards as you found them. Do not tidy first.
Illustration of a conveyor drive end with an open gearbox/belt-and-pulley drive on a green frame at left, a yellow mesh guard panel mid-span, an E-stop pull-cord with red button along the top, and a brown fluid pool on the floor beneath the drive.
Clear, evenly lit stylised illustration of the conveyor drive end; small details such as switch bodies and fixing threads are simplified, limiting judgement on interlock hardware.
Floor directly below the blue drive unit at left, with spatter trailing right. A brown/amber pool with scattered droplets sits under the drive, with a dark line running down from the underside of the blue gearbox/motor into the pool.

Accepting this evaluatesR-GM-15
Open drive enclosure edges and mesh guard mounting. No interlock switch, key or actuator is depicted at either guard position, so no judgement on defeat is possible.

- Yellow mesh guard mid-span appears mounted on a single central pedestal and stands clear of the belt line, leaving the conveyor underside open.
- Red pull-cord runs the length of the conveyor to a yellow E-stop station above the belt, appearing intact.
- Mesh guard is positioned on the operator side only; no guarding visible at the far end rollers.
Recorded on the report as notes. No cue, so no rule consumes them.
4 cues checked and not seen
- Heavy corrosion or section loss — Painted steelwork and legs appear uniform in colour with no flaking, scale or thinning visible anywhere in the frame.
- Light surface corrosion or coating breakdown — No staining, rust bloom or chipped paint depicted on the painted surfaces; drive pulleys are plain grey.
