Description

Moving machine parts have the potential to cause severe workplace injuries, such as crushed fingers or hands, amputations, burns, or blindness. Safeguards are essential for protecting workers from these preventable injuries. Any machine part, function, or process that may cause injury must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine or accidental contact injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be eliminated or controlled. This course contains the necessary information on the various hazards of mechanical motion and techniques for protecting workers. The course provides training on the essentials of machinery guarding to those who work closely with machinery in their organisation.Our machine guarding course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of OSHA's safety requirements and how to apply them in a work environment.
