Subpart O • 1910.211 Definitions • 1910.212 General Requirements for all Machines • 1910.213 Woodworking Machinery • 1910.215 Abrasive Wheel Machinery • 1910.216 Mills and Calendars • 1910.217 Mechanical Power Presses • 1910.218 Forging Machinery • 1910.219 Mechanical Power-Transmission
Basics of machine safeguarding A good rule to remember is: • Any machine part; function; or process which may cause injury must be safeguarded.
Basic areas of safeguarding • The point of operation • Power transmission apparatus • Other moving parts (reciprocating, transverse, or rotating)
Motions • Rotating (including in-running nip points) • Reciprocating • Transverse
Nip points Nip point Nip point Nip point Nip point Nip point
Nip points A Typical nip points Nip point Nip point B C Nip point
Rotating hazards Burr Rotating shaft and pulleys with projecting key and set screw Rotating pulley with spokes and projecting burr on face of pulley Rotating coupling with projecting bolt heads
Pinch points caused by tables Table Bed (stationary)
Transverse motion of a belt Transverse motion of belt
Safeguarding Guards • Prevent access to the danger areas Devices • Control access to the point of operation
Actions • Cutting • Punching • Shearing • Bending
Different actions Stock Cutting tool
Guards • Fixed • Interlocked • Adjustable • Self-adjusting
