Sounds to me as though you have yet to complete conveyor securing training. The basics of this training is that only the person (supervisor or hourly) who turned off a moving belt is allowed to turn it back on after the area is deemed secure. This is obviously for safety purposes. If this person's shift is supposed to end he/she is to stay until the area is deemed secure and the belt is turned back on.
Maybe just reiterating it? I know when I was a sorter it was a problem. Unload sup would throw 4 guys in a book trailer, packages would be coming out butted against each other, and stacked as well. Would be falling all over the sort aisle. So I would cut the belt. (I would cut the belt because the unload sup and unloaders would refuse to shut the door down) So then it would be either the FT or PT jawing about how this belt had to run, I had no business shutting it off, etc. Then proceed to turn a belt back on they had not secured. Even when I pointed out it was unsafe, we were breaking customers packages, jamming the smalls belt, etc.
