 LOGISTICS
When providing training, you may not be in a location that you are familiar with. Allow
yourself a minimum of 30 minutes to set up.

Somewhere towards the entrance of the room a table should be set up with your pre-
printed sign in sheets, at least 2 pens, and your OSHA publications that students can
take if they wish.

Arrange the room to promote active learning. According to Evergreen Safety Council’s
book, Presentation & Training Techniques, the room should be arranged for the
learning situation. “A learner-centered arrangement allows for the learners to
participate and to interact easily with the others in the group.”

This style allows learners a relaxed environment where they are encouraged to
participate while you still maintain control of the class.

When possible, the following classroom arrangement is highly recommended for an

effective learning environment:

The Whistleblower Flyer, Pre-Test, and a pen should be at each place setting prior to
the trainee’s arrival. The center should be kept clear for activities.

Set up your projector, speakers, laptop, and other electronic equipment needed, tests
the WIFI to ensure you have a strong connection and you are ready to go!

 SCRIPT
Machine Guarding for General Industry
 MACHINE GUARDING SCRIPT
The following is a script for a 2 hour Machine Guarding for General Industry
presentation. You may tailor as you see fit.

Slide 1:
Good morning/afternoon, my name is _______ and is my colleague_______. We are
with g.

Slide 2:
The Susan Harwood training grant provides funding to eligible non-profit organizations
to deliver safety and health training to eligible workers and employers. With this
training, workers and employers will be able to recognize workplace safety hazards,
incorporate accident prevention plans, and be informed of their rights and
responsibilities as it pertains to OSHA.

Slide 3:
The primary law covering worker safety is the Occupational Safety and Health Act, or

OSH Act, of 1970. The primary goal of this law is to reduce workplace hazards and
implement safety and health programs for both employers and their employees.

The OSH Act created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration otherwise
known as OSHA. OSHA sets and enforces workplace safety and health standards. As
well as provide safety information, training, and assistance to employers and workers.

Slide 4:
One of the ways that OSHA protects workers is through the Whistleblower Protection
Program. OSHA’s whistleblower statutes protect you from retaliation. What does this
mean? This means, an employer cannot retaliate against you for reporting injuries,
safety concerns, or other protected activity.

You should always report any safety concerns to your immediate supervisor first. If you
feel the safety concern was not resolved, you have the right to file an OSHA
complaint. Under the Whistleblower protection program, you have the right to
participate in an inspection or talk to an inspector, seek access to employer exposure
and injury records, report an injury, and/or raise a safety or health complaint with the
employer without fear of retaliation. If you feel you have been retaliated or
discriminated against for exercising your rights, you must file a complaint with OSHA
within 30 days of the alleged adverse action.

7
Slide 5:
Employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace environment, free from all
recognized hazards. The workplace should comply with OSHA standards, rules and
regulations.
Operating procedures should be established and communicated with employees, and
employers must provide safety training in a language employees can understand.

Slide 6:
What does OSHA require from you? As an employee it is your responsibility to read any
workplace safety, and health posters at your jobsite. Comply with all OSHA safety
standards and follow all lawful employer safety and health rules and
regulations. Always use and wear your personal protective equipment when required,
and report hazardous conditions and job-related injuries as soon as possible.

Slide 7:
Ok guys, why is it important to know what your employer, and what you are
responsible for? At the end of the day, we want everyone to go home to their loved
ones. When you follow OSHA and workplace safety rules and guidelines, you are not
just protecting the employee of an organization, you are protecting someone’s mother,
father, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, and the list goes on. Someone's loved one gets to
go home to their family, and that is the ultimate goal of these safety trainings.

Slide 8:
In this presentation we will discuss key parts of a machine, hazards to be guarded,
motions and actions, guarding methods, general requirements, power transmission
apparatus, hand and power tools. All are essential to creating a safe workplace for you
and those around you.

Slide 9:
Pre test

Slide 10:
Many hazards are created by moving machine parts. Safeguards are essential for
protecting workers from preventable injuries. OSHA requires that machines that expose
an employee to injury must be guarded. A point of operation is the area of the machine
where the machine performs work on a material such as cutting, shaping, boring, and
forming.

A power-transmission device is all components of the mechanical system that transmit

energy. Examples of this can include flywheels, pulleys, belts etc.

Slide 11:
An operation control is a mechanical or electrical power control on a machine that
makes it possible for the operator to cut off the power from each machine without
leaving his position at the point of operation.

8
Other key parts to a machine can include rotating and moving parts as well as feeding
mechanisms.

Slide 12:
From crushed hands and arms, severed fingers, blindness, and even death, the list of
possible machinery-related injuries is horrifying. Therefore, safeguards are essential for
protecting workers from needless and preventable injuries.

A good rule to remember is this: any machine part, function, or process which may
cause injury must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine or accidental
contact with it can injure the operator or others, the hazard must be eliminated or
controlled.

Slide 13:
Keeping that rule in mind, when working around machines that contains these hazards,
the machine must be guarded. Areas to guard are: nip points, rotating equipment,
flying chips or sparks, belt or gears, and parts that impact or shear. Doing so will
protect employees from serious injuries such as amputations, cuts, and burns.

Slide 14:
Rotating parts are circular parts that are action generated by rotating couplings,
flywheels, and spindles that may grip clothing or otherwise force a body part into a
dangerous location.

Rotating motion can be dangerous; even smooth, slowly rotating shafts can grip
clothing. The danger increases when projections such as screws, bolts, etc. are
exposed on rotating parts.

Slide 15
Accidents can happen to anyone, even Queen Bey!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1uHk7Z6z24

Slide 16
In-Running Nip Points are also known as “pinch points.” A pinch point develops when
two machine parts move together. They are created between a rotating and moving
part. An example of this would be the point of contact between a power transmission
belt and its pulley. Nip points can also occur between rotating and fixed parts which
create a shearing, or crushing action.

Slide 17
This video contains graphic images. This is a real life situation where a workers arm
was caught in a nip point.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-31yge5m5dc

9
Slide 18
Reciprocating motions may be hazardous because, during the back-and-forth or up-
and-down motion, a worker may be struck by or caught between a moving and a
stationary part.

Slide 19:
Transverse motion is a movement that happens in a straight, continuous line, and
creates a hazard because a worker may be struck or caught in a pinch or shear point by
the moving part.

(Explain gif and show where the pinch point is)

Slide 20:
Now that we have covered the three types of motions, let’s talk about actions. The first
one being "cutting action". Cutting action is the action that cuts material. Looking at
this slide, you see a drill bit cutting in to some material. What motion is this drill bit
using? Rotating, reciprocating, or transverse? (wait for answers) Rotating, great!

The danger of cutting action exists at the point of operation where finger, arm and
body injuries can occur and where flying chips or scrap material can strike anywhere.
Such hazards are present at the point of operation in cutting wood, metal, or other
materials.

Slide 21:
Punching action results when power is applied to a slide (ram) for the purpose of
drawing, or stamping metal or other materials. The danger of this type of action occurs
at the point of operation where stock is inserted, held, and withdrawn with a
handtool. So what motion is being used here? (wait for answers) Reciprocating!
Awesome!

Slide 22:
Shearing Action involves applying power to a slide or knife in order to trim or shear
metal or other materials. The hazard occurs at the point of operation where the
employee typically inserts, holds, or withdraws the stock with a hand tool.

Slide 23:
Bending action results when power is applied to a material to draw or stamp it. The
hazard occurs at the point of operation where stock is inserted, held, and withdrawn.

Equipment that uses bending action includes power presses, press brakes, and tubing
benders

Slide 24:
Activity
As a group you will determine where the point of operation is located and the type of
motion and action.

Slide 25:
OSHA Standards require that machine guards follow these minimum general
requirements:

Prevent contact: The safeguard must prevent hands, arms, and any other part of a
worker's body from making contact with dangerous moving parts. A good safeguarding
system eliminates the possibility of the operator or another worker placing parts of their
bodies near hazardous moving parts.

Secure guard: Workers should not be able to easily remove or tamper with the
safeguard. Guards and safety devices should be made of durable material that will
withstand the conditions of normal use. They must be firmly secured to the machine.

Protect from falling objects: The safeguard should ensure that no objects can fall into
moving parts. A small tool which is dropped into a cycling machine could easily become
a projectile that could strike and injure someone.

Create no new hazards: A safeguard defeats its own purpose if it creates a hazard of its
own such as a shear point, a jagged edge. The edges of guards, for instance, should be
rolled or bolted in such a way that they eliminate sharp edges.

Create no interference: Any safeguard should not be overwridden or disregarded to do

a job quickly. Proper safeguarding can actually enhance efficiency and ensure worker
safety. When you feel safe on the job you are more relaxed and less apprehensive
about doing your job.

Allow safe lubrication: If possible, one should be able to lubricate the machine without
removing the safeguards. Locating oil reservoirs outside the guard, with a line leading
to the lubrication point, will reduce the need for the operator or maintenance worker to
enter the hazardous area.

Slide 26:
There are many ways to safeguard machines. To determine the best guarding method
you have to consider a few things, the type of operation, the size or shape of stock, the
method of handling, the physical layout of the work area, the type of material, and
production requirements.

As a general rule, power transmission apparatus’ are best protected by fixed guards
that enclose the danger areas.

We can group safeguards under five general classifications. The first two we will talk
about are location/distance and guards.

Slide 27:
The first safeguarding method we will discuss is safeguarding by location/distance in
situations where dangerous moving parts of a machine can’t be guarded. This may be

11
accomplished by placing a machine so that the hazardous parts of the machine are
located away from operator workstations. An example of this would be positioning a
machine with its power transmission apparatus against a wall and leaving all routine
operations conducted on the other side of the machine. You can also add barriers to
restrict access to machines. Another possible solution is to have dangerous parts
located high enough to be out of the normal reach of any worker as in this example
here. The employee cannot physically reach the unguarded hazard therefore this
hazard is considered safeguarded by location/distance.

The positioning of the operator's control station provides another potential approach to
safeguarding by location. Operator controls may be located at a safe distance from the
machine if there is no reason for the operator to tend it.

Slide 28:
As its name implies, a fixed guard is a permanent part of the machine. It is not
dependent upon moving parts to perform its intended function. It may be constructed
of sheet metal, screen, wire cloth, bars, plastic, or any other material. This guard is
usually preferable to all other types because its simplicity.

Slide 29:
An interlocking guard shuts off or disengages power and prevents machine start-up
when guard is open. An interlocked guard may use electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, or
any combination of these. Replacing the guard should not automatically restart the
machine. To be effective, all movable guards should be interlocked to prevent
occupational hazards.

Slide 30:
Adjustable guards are useful because they allow flexibility in accommodating various
sizes of stock. A band saw with an adjustable guard protects the operator from the
unused portion of the blade. This guard can be adjusted according to the size of stock.

An adjustable guard may require frequent maintenance. The operator may make guard
ineffective. This video will give us a good visual on what an adjustable guard is.
(Explain during video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMyzL1RykRY

Slide 31:
A self-adjusting guard adjusts itself according to the movement of the stock. As the
operator moves the stock into the danger area, the guard is pushed away, providing an
opening which is only large enough to admit the stock. After the stock is removed, the
guard returns to the rest position. This guard protects the operator by placing a barrier
between the danger area and the operator. The guards may be constructed of plastic,
metal, or other substantial material. (Review photograph and point out how the plastic
shield adjusts as the worker pushes the wood through the saw.)

12
Slide 32:
The next classification of safeguarding is devices. A safety device may stop the
machine if a hand or any body part is accidentally placed in the danger area. The
device may restrain or withdraw the operator's hands, or require the operator to use
both hands on machine controls, or perhaps provide a barrier which is synchronized
with the operating cycle. All of these devices serve one purpose, to keep your hands
and body out of the hazardous area.

Slide 33:
The photoelectric presence-sensing device uses a system of light sources and controls
which can interrupt the machine's operating cycle. If the light field is broken, the
machine stops and will not cycle. This device must be used only on machines which can
be stopped before the worker can reach the danger area. The design and placement of
the guard depends upon the time it takes to stop the mechanism and the speed at
which the employee's hand can reach across the distance from the guard to the danger
zone.

Slide 34:
Pullback devices use a series of cables attached to the operator's hands, wrists, or
arms. This type of device is primarily used on machines with stroking action. When the
ram is up between cycles, the operator is allowed access to the point of operation.
When the ram begins to lower, a mechanical link automatically pulls back the hands of
the employee from the point of operation.

Slide 35:
A restraint device utilizes cables or straps. The workers wrists are connected by cords
and secured to a fixed anchor point. This limits the operator’s hands from reaching the
point of operation at any time. The cables or straps must be adjusted to let the
operator's hands travel within a safe area. There is no extending or retracting action
involved. Hand-feeding tools are often necessary if the operation involves placing
material into the danger area.

Slide 36:
Safety trip controls provide a quick means for deactivating a machine in an emergency
situation.

A pressure-sensitive body bar, when depressed, will deactivate the machine. If the
operator or anyone trips, or loses their balance, applying pressure to the bar will stop
the operation. The positioning of the bar is critical. It must stop the machine before a
part of the employee's body reaches the danger area.

Safety tripwire cables are located around the perimeter of the dangerous area. The
operator must be able to reach the cable with either hand to stop the machine.

All of these tripwire rods or other safety devices must be manually reset to restart the
machine. Releasing the tripwire to restart the machine will not ensure that the
employee is out of danger when the machine restarts.
13
Slide 37:
One way to guard an operator against hazards on a machine is using a two-hand
control. A two hand control requires constant pressure by the operator to activate the
machine. With this type of device, 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.

Slide 38:
A gate is a movable barrier that protects the operator at the point of operation before
the machine cycle can be started. Gates are designed to be operated with each
machine cycle. To be effective, the gate must be interlocked so that the machine will
not begin a cycle unless the gate guard is in place. It must be in the closed position
before the machine can function.

Slide 39:
The next classification of safeguarding is feeding and ejection methods, robots, and
other miscellaneous aids.

Slide 40:
Many feeding and ejection methods do not require the operator to place his or her
hands in the danger area. In some cases, no operator involvement is necessary after
the machine is set up. In other situations, operators can manually feed the stock with
the assistance of a feeding mechanism. Properly designed ejection methods do not
require any operator involvement after the machine starts to function.

Using these feeding and ejection methods does not eliminate the need for guards and
devices. Guards and devices must be used wherever they are necessary and possible in
order to provide protection from exposure to hazards.

Automatic feeds reduce the exposure of the operator during the work process, and
sometimes do not require any effort by the operator after the machine is set up and
running.

Slide 41:
Robots perform work that would otherwise have to be done by an operator. They are
best used in high-production processes requiring repeated routines where they prevent
other hazards to employees. Robots are also suitable for operations where high stress
factors are present, such as heat and noise. Robots may create hazards themselves,
and if they do, appropriate guards must be used.

14
Slide 42:
Miscellaneous aids do not give complete protection from machine hazards, they ma4y
provide the operator with an extra source of safety.

An awareness barrier does not provide physical protection, but serves only to remind a
person that he or she is approaching the danger area. Generally, awareness barriers are
not considered adequate when exposed to the hazard exists.

Protective shields are another source of aid. Shields may be used to provide protection
from flying particles, splashing cutting oils, or coolants.

Special hand tools may be used to place or remove stock, particularly from or into the
point of operation of a machine. A typical use would be for reaching into the danger
area of a press or press brake. Holding tools should not be used instead of other
machine safeguards; they are merely a supplement to the protection that other guards
provide.

Slide 43:
Break

Slide 44:
One or more methods of machine guarding will be used to protect employees from
hazards such as those created by point of operation, nip points, rotating parts, and
flying chips and sparks. These guards could be barrier guards, two-hand tripping
devices, electronic safety devices, etc.

Guards should be attached to the machine where possible. If this is not possible, they
should be secured elsewhere. It is important to remember that the guard should not
be a hazard in itself.

Slide 45:
Remember, the point of operation is the area on a machine where work is performed.
Machines that expose an employee to injury must be guarded.

Special hand tools used for placing and removing material from point of operation areas
must allow easy handling of the material without the operator placing a hand in the
danger zone. Tools will not replace the guards, but will aid in keeping the employee
safe and out of the hazardous area.

Slide 46:
Revolving barrels, containers, and drums must be guarded by an enclosure interlocked
with the drive mechanism, so the barrel, gun, or container cannot revolve unless the
guard enclosure is in place.

15
When the blades of a fan is less than seven (7) feet above the floor or working level,
the blades must be guarded. The guard must not have openings larger than one-half
(½) inch.

Slide 47:
A machine that is designed for a fixed location must be securely anchored to a
surface. This will prevent the machine from moving thus further reducing the hazard.

Slide 48:
Woodworking machines are used with the intent to process wood. They are usually
powered by electric motors. Some examples of woodworking machines are table saws,
or circular saws.

The most common hazards of working with woodworking machines come from the
point of operation, kickbacks, flying particles, and other moving parts. To secure your
safety you must guard the machine with a fixed guard, adjustable guard, or self-
adjustable guard.

Slide 49
When working on machines that have abrasive wheels, guards should be used. The
type of guard used will depend on the machine. The guard must cover the spindle end,
nut, and flange projections. The safety guard must also be mounted so that it is
properly aligned with the wheel. If you take a look at this example, there is a plastic
guard that can come down at the front when the wheel is being used, however the
sides remain unguarded.

Slide 50:
Work rests are used to support the piece you are working on. They are made out of a
rigid construction and designed to be adjustable according to the wear of the wheel.
Since they are closely adjusted to the wheel they should have a maximum opening of
one-eighth inch to prevent the work from being jammed between the wheel and the
rest. The work rest has to be securely clamped after each adjustment; you should
never adjust it while the wheel is in motion. The work rest is also known as a tool rest.

Slide 51:
Exposure adjustment. Safety guards, where the operator stands in front of the opening,
shall be constructed so that the peripheral protecting member can be adjusted to the
constantly decreasing diameter of the wheel. The maximum angular exposure above
the horizontal plane of the wheel spindle shall never be exceeded, and the distance
between the wheel periphery and the adjustable tongue or the end of the peripheral
member at the top shall never exceed one-fourth inch.

Slide 52:
Here is an example of the different types of guards you can use with a specific
machine. Here this machine has two abrasive wheels. You can see the tool rests,
faceguards and side guards that all help in preventing injury to the operator.
16
Slide 53:
When mounting an abrasive wheel, it is important to closely inspect if for damage.
Check the spindle speed to ensure that the wheel you purchased does not exceed the
maximum operating speed marked on the wheel. When you are ready to mount the
wheel, you should tap it gently with a light, nonmetallic device. The handle of a
screwdriver is perfect for a light wheel. You can use a mallet for heavier wheels. If
there is no ringing sound when you tap the wheel, you should not use it. This wheel is
not safe. This method is known as the "Ring Test". Let’s watch what this test looks
like when conducted.

Slide 54:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52n8_-6cooY

Slide 55
The power transmission apparatus is all of the mechanical system which transmits
energy to the part machine that actually performs the work. These components like
flywheels, pulleys, and belts.

Slide 56:
Flywheels are a heavy revolving wheel in a machine that is used to increase the
machine's momentum. Flywheels that are located less than 7 feet above the ground
must be guarded with an enclosed sheet, metal, or woven wire.
Guardrails should be placed no less than fifteen 15 inches and no more than twenty 20
inches from rim. When a flywheel extends into a pit or is within 12 inches of floor, a
standard toe board shall also be used.

Slide 57:
A shafting system plays an important role in transferring power from the main engine to
the propeller. Each continuous line of shafting shall be secured in position against
excessive endwise movement. All inclined and vertical shafts shall be securely held in
position against endwise thrust.

Slide 58:
All exposed parts of any horizontal shafting located 7 feet or less from the floor must be
guarded by a trough or stationary casing. Troughs must be enclosed from the sides,
top, or bottom of the shafting depending on the location. (point out picture)

Slide 59:
Any ends of the shaft that stick out should have a smooth edge and should not project
out more than one half of the diameter of the shaft unless it is guarded by a
nonrotating cap or safety sleeve. Any unused keyways shall be filled up or covered.

Slide 60
Pulleys are wheels with a grooved rim around which a cord passes. It acts to change
the direction of a force applied to the cord and is used to raise heavy weights. Pulleys
that are seven 7 feet or less from the floor or working platform shall be guarded.
Pulleys serving as balance wheels on which the point of contact between belt and pulley

17
is more than six feet six inches from the floor or platform may be guarded with a disk
covering the spokes.

Slide 61
Gears are a set of toothed wheels that work together to alter the relation between the
speed of a driving mechanism which is like the engine of a vehicle, and the speed of the
driven parts like the wheels. Gears shall be guarded with a complete enclosure or by a
standard guard, at least seven 7 feet high extending six 6 inches above the mesh point
of the gears. A band guard covering the face of gear and having flanges extended
inward beyond the root of the teeth on the exposed side or sides.

Slide 62:
All projecting keys, set screws and other projections in revolving parts shall be removed
or made flush or guarded by metal cover. Why would this be?

Slide 63:
Shaft couplings should be constructed so that they present no hazard from bolts, nuts,
set screws, or revolving surfaces. They are permitted where they are covered with
safety sleeves or are countersunk and do not extend beyond the flange of the coupling.

Slide 64:
Title slide

Slide 65:
When working with hand and power tools, the employer is responsible for the safe
condition of tools and equipment used by employees; this includes equipment that
employees bring in. Because of this, all tools need to be approved by your employer
for use.

You should never use compressed air for cleaning. If you choose to, reduce the
compressor to less than 30 pounds per square inch, only then is it allowed with chip
guarding and personal protective equipment.

Slide 66:
When using any portable, power-driven circular saws whose blade diameter is greater
than 2 inches, the saw needs to be equipped with guards above and below the base
plate.

All hand-held powered circular saws having a blade diameter greater than 2 inches
need to be equipped with a constant pressure switch or a control that will shut off the
power when the pressure is released.

Slide 67:
Belt sanding machines must have guards at each nip point where the sanding belt runs
onto a pulley. These guards should effectively prevent the hands or fingers of the
operator from coming into contact with the nip points. The unused run of the sanding
belt should be guarded against accidental contact. All cracked or defective saws must
be removed from service.
18
Slide 68:
A tool retainer is the piece on the tip of the pneumatic tool that holds the bit in
place. Every pneumatic tool should have one installed, without it, the bit may be
ejected. Air hoses, and hose connections need to be used for the intended equipment.
