Section 296-307-28066 - Belt maintenance(1) Quarter-twist belts without an idler can be used on drives running in one direction only. They will run off a pulley when direction is reversed.(2) The employer must inspect belts, lacings, and fasteners to be sure they are kept in good repair.(3) Dressing should not be applied when the belt or rope is in motion; but, when necessary, it should be applied where belts or rope leave the pulley, not where they approach. The same precautions apply to lubricating chains. In the case of V-belts, belt dressing is neither necessary nor advisable.Wash. Admin. Code § 296-307-28066
