    13/80

    REMEMBER

    Any machine part, function, or process

    which may cause injury must be

    safeguarded. When the operation of amachine or accidental contact with it can

    injure the operator or others in the vicinity,

    the hazards must be either controlled or

    eliminated.

    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 IsExpanded 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 RecommendedBecause of Their Flammability and Lack of Durability and

    Strength. However, in Areas Where Corrosive Materials Are

    Present, Wooden Guards May Be the Better Choice.
