Description

Workers using machinery may be exposed to several hazards that can lead to injury or even death. In the process of removing or avoiding hazards, workers must learn to recognize the hazards associated with the different types of equipment and safety precautions necessary to prevent those hazards.

Each piece of machinery has its own unique mechanical and non-mechanical hazards. Machines can cause a variety of injuries ranging from minor abrasions, burns or cuts to severe injuries such as fractures, lacerations, crushing injuries or even amputation. Machine guards are your first line of defense against injuries caused by machine operation. Each machine must have adequate safeguards to protect operators and other employees in the immediate work area from hazards created by ingoing nip points, rotating parts, sparks and flying debris. When you complete this course, you will:
  • Understand the purpose of machine guarding and the common hazards associated with machine guarding
  • Know the rules and regulations for safeguarding and the advantages of different types of safeguards
  • Be able to identify the standards for effectively guarding abrasive wheels and grinding machinery
  • Understand safety considerations, potential hazards including machine guarding maintenance and training
