Course Objectives

There seem to be as many hazards created by moving machine parts as there are types of machines. Safeguards are essential for protecting workers from needless and preventable injuries. Any machine part, function, or process which may cause injury must be safeguarded. Where the operation of a machine or accidental contact with it can injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazard must be controlled or eliminated.

Machine guarding requirements can seem overwhelming with an entire subpart of OSHA CFR 1910 devoted to this topic. This course will equip you to protect your employees from moving machinery and to properly apply the OSHA Machine Guarding requirements.

Learning Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to identify hazardous areas, motions and actions, understand methods of safeguarding, understand and correctly utilized protective guards and devices and implement inspection procedures to ensure compliance.
