Why are machines not guarded?
No one would stick their arm, hand, finger, head, etc. in there.
No one is supposed to be back there, in there, around it while it is running.
The machine came that way; it never had a guard.
I’ve been doing it this way for twenty years without any problems.

Why are machines not guarded? (cont.)
The guard is in the wayThe OSHA inspector didn’t say anything
about it.We’ll put it back on if OSHA comes.
5
Emphasis on Amputations : Where does it apply?
General industry employers whose workplaces include:shearssawsslicersslitterspower presses
(the 4s and a P)

Requirements for Safeguards
Prevent contact - prevent worker’s body or clothing from contacting hazardous moving parts
Secure - firmly secured to machine and not easily removed Protect from falling objects - ensure that no objects can
fall into moving parts Create no new hazards - must not have shear points,
jagged edges or unfinished surfaces Create no interference - must not prevent worker from
performing the job quickly and comfortably Allow safe lubrication - if possible, be able to lubricate the
machine without removing the safeguards
12
Methods of Machine Safeguarding
Guards fixed interlocked adjustable self-adjusting
Devices presence sensing pullback restraint safety controls (tripwire cable,
two-hand contol, etc.) gates
Location/distance Feeding and ejection methods
automatic and/or semi-automatic feed and ejection
robots Miscellaneous aids
awareness barriers protective shields hand-feeding tools
16
Fixed Guard
Provides a barrier - a permanent part of the machine, preferable to all other types of guards.
17
Interlocked Guard
When this type of guard is opened or removed, the tripping mechanism and/or power automatically shuts off or disengages, and the machine cannot cycle or be started until the guard is back in place.
Interlocked guard on revolving drum
18
Adjustable Guard
Provides a barrier which may be adjusted to facilitate a variety of production operations.
Bandsaw blade adjustable guard
19
Self-Adjusting Guard
Provides a barrier which moves according to the size of the stock entering the danger area.
Circular table saw self-adjusting guard
23
Pullback Device
Utilizes a series of cables attached to the operator’s hands, wrists, and/or arms
Primarily used on machines with stroking action
Allows access to the point of operation when the slide/ram is up
Withdraws hands when the slide/ram begins to descend
24
Pullback Device (cont’d)
Hands in die, feeding Point of operation exposed Pullback device attached
and properly adjusted
Die closed Hands withdrawn from
point of operation by pullback device
25
Restraint Device
Uses cables or straps attached to the operator’s hands and a fixed point
Must be adjusted to let the operator’s hands travel within a predetermined safe area
Hand-feeding tools are often necessary if the operation involves placing material into the danger area
26
Safety Tripwire Cables
Device located around the perimeter of or near the danger area
Operator must be able to reach the cable to stop the machine
27
Two-Hand Control
.
Requires constant, concurrent pressure to activate the machine
The operator’s hands are required to be at a safe location (on control buttons) and at a safe distance from the danger area while the machine completes its closing cycle
28
Gate
Movable barrier device which protects the operator at the point of operation before the machine cycle can be started
If the gate does not fully close, machine will not function
Gate Open Gate Closed
29
Safeguarding by Location/Distance
Locate the machine or its dangerous moving parts so that they are not accessible or do not present a hazard to a worker during normal operation
Maintain a safe distance from the danger area

31
Robots
Machines that load and unload stock, assemble parts, transfer objects, or perform other tasks
Best used in high-production processes requiring repeated routines where they prevent other hazards to employees
32
Protective Shields
These do not give complete protection from machine hazards, but do provide some protection from flying particles, splashing cutting oils, or coolants.
33
Holding Tools
Used to place and remove stock in the danger area
Not to be used instead of other machine safeguards, but as a supplement
