61
METHODS OF MACHINE GUARDING
Miscellaneous Aids: Examples of Possible Applications: Awareness Barriers - (Not adequate for continuous hazards) Color coding of hazard areas Signage Shields (i.e. splash, eye protective, thermal etc.) Holding and Positioning Tools 76
62
METHODS OF MACHINE GUARDING
Guard Construction: Many Machines Come With Safeguards Many Older Machines Now Have Safeguards Available Manufacturers Are Increasingly More Concerned With Liability Companies Not Specialized in Guarding Issues 77
63
METHODS OF MACHINE GUARDING
Builder Designed and Installed Guards: Usually Conform to Design and Function of Machine Better Can Be Designed to Strengthen the Machine in Some Way or to Serve Some Additional Functional Purposes 78
64
METHODS OF MACHINE GUARDING
User Designed and Installed Guards: Often the Only Practical Solution for Older Equipment Can Be Designed and Built to Fit Unique & Changing Situations Can Be Installed on Individual Dies and Feeding Mechanisms Can Help Promote Safety Consciousness in the Workplace Sometimes Do Not Conform As Well As “Builder Designed” Depending on Talent and Resources May Be Poorly Designed 79
65
METHODS OF MACHINE GUARDING
Point-of-Operations Guards : Defined as: “The area on a machine where work is actually performed upon the material being processed.” Complicated by the Number and Complexity of Machines in Use Must Fully Safeguard the Employee Must Allow Production to Continue Hazard Analysis Is Usually Required If Poorly Designed, Built, or Installed Guards May Create a Hazard Rather Than Eliminating One. 80
66
METHODS OF MACHINE GUARDING
Mechanical Power Transmission Apparatus Guards: The only openings usually needed are for: Lubrication Adjustment Repair Inspection 300 RPM 81
67
METHODS OF MACHINE GUARDING
Guard Material: Under Many Circumstances, Metal Is the Best Material for Guards. Guard Framework Is Usually Made From Structural Shapes, Pipe, Bar, or Rod Stock. Filler Material Generally Is Expanded or Perforated or Solid Sheet Metal or Wire Mesh. It May Be Feasible to Use Plastic or Safety Glass Where Visibility Is Required. Guards Made of Wood Generally Are Not Recommended Because of Their Flammability and Lack of Durability and Strength. However, in Areas Where Corrosive Materials Are Present, Wooden Guards May Be the Better Choice. 82
