Published by SALUSThe main aspect of machine guarding is to protect operators and other employees from hazards in the machine area. These hazards include point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, and flying chips and sparks 1, 2. Effective machine guarding involves using methods like barrier guards, two-hand tripping devices, and electronic safety devices 1, 2. Guards should be affixed to the machine where possible, and designed to not be accident hazards themselves [1]. It is important to regularly inspect guards for damage and ensure they are in proper working order 5, 6.
