When workers are exposed to rotating parts such as belts, pulleys, shafts, gears and chains, prime movers of equipment, and/or machinery and exposed points of operation, they are potentially at risk of injury.
Operators of machinery and equipment must be able to recognize these hazards and the factors that can contribute to them. Our course is designed to provide the knowledge required to safely operate equipment and machinery and identify the purpose and requirements for machine guarding.

Description
TYPES OF HAZARDS
A wide variety of mechanical motions and actions may present hazards to workers operating or working around machinery. The three basic types of hazardous mechanical motions and actions are:
- Hazardous Motions – Including rotating machine parts, reciprocating motions (sliding parts or up/down motions), and transverse motions (materials moving in a continuous line).
- Points of Operation – The areas where the machine cuts, shapes, bores, or bends the stock being fed through it.
- Pinch Points and Shear Points – the area where a part of the body or clothing could be caught between a moving part and a stationary object. This would include power transmission apparatuses such as flywheels, pulleys, belts, chains, couplings, spindles, cams, gears, connecting rods and other machine components that transmit energy.
