(of 185) Objectives Objectives Course No. 204 Machinery and Machine Guarding Standards Course Identify basic machinery terms Identify common machines found within a broad spectrum of industries Identify hazards that occur in or on machinery Select the appropriate OSHA STANDARD that applies to a hazard Present options to achieve abatement

(of 185) The point of operation: that point where work is performed on the material, such as cutting, shaping, boring, or forming of stock. Power transmission apparatus: all components of the mechanical system which transmit energy to the part of the machine performing the work. These components include flywheels, pulleys, belts, connecting rods, couplings, cams, spindles, chains, cranks, and gears. Other moving parts: all parts of the machine which move while the machine is working. These can include reciprocating, rotating, and transverse moving parts, as well as feed mechanisms and auxiliary parts of the machine. Dangerous moving parts in these three basic areas need safeguarding:

(of 185) Rotating pulley Rotating shaft Rotating coupling Burr Hazardous Rotating Motion

(of 185) Rotating (including in-running nip points)

(of 185) Hazardous Reciprocating Motion

(of 185) Hazardous Transverse Motion

(of 185) What must a safeguard do to protect workers against mechanical hazards?

(of 185) Prevent contact:Prevent contact: –The safeguard must prevent hands, arms, or any part of a worker's body or clothing from making contact with dangerous moving parts. A good safeguarding system eliminates the possibility of the operator or other workers placing parts of their bodies near hazardous moving parts. Secure:Secure: –Workers should not be able to easily remove or tamper with the safeguard, because a safeguard that can easily be made ineffective is no safeguard at all. 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: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.

(of 185) Create no new hazards: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, or an unfinished surface which can cause a laceration. The edges of guards, for instance, should be rolled or bolted in such a way that they eliminate sharp edges. Create no interference:Create no interference: –Any safeguard which impedes a worker from performing the job quickly and comfortably might soon be overridden or disregarded. Proper safeguarding can actually enhance efficiency since it can relieve the worker's apprehensions about injury. Allow safe lubrication: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.

(of 185) Fixed Point of Operation Guard

(of 185) Safeguarding Action –Shuts off or disengages power and prevents starting of machine when guard is open; should require the machine to be stopped before the worker can reach into the danger area Advantages –Can provide maximum protection –Allows access to machine for removing jams without time- consuming removal of fixed guards Limitations –Requires careful adjustment and maintenance –May be easy to disengage Interlocked

(of 185) Safeguarding Action –Provides a barrier which may be adjusted to facilitate a variety of production operations Advantages –Can be constructed to suit many specific applications –Can be adjusted to admit varying sizes of stock Limitations –Hand may enter danger area - protection may not be complete at all times –May require frequent maintenance and/or adjustment –The guard may be made ineffective by the operator –May interfere with visibility Adjustable

(of 185) Safeguarding Action –Provides a barrier which moves according to the size of the stock entering danger area Advantages –Off-the-shelf guards are often commercially available Limitations –Does not always provide maximum protection –May interfere with visibility –May require frequent maintenance and adjustment Self-Adjusting

(of 185) Safety Devices Stop the machine if a hand or any part of the body is inadvertently placed in the danger area; Restrain or withdraw the operator's hands from the danger area during operation; Require the operator to use both hands on machine controls, thus keeping both hands and body out of danger; or Provide a barrier which is synchronized with the operating cycle of the machine in order to prevent entry to the danger area during the hazardous part of the cycle.

(of 185) Safeguarding Action –Machine will not start cycling when the light field is interrupted –When the light field is broken by any part of the operator's body during the cycling process, immediate machine braking is activated Advantages –Can allow freer movement for operator; simplicity of use; no adjustments required Limitations –Does not protect against mechanical failure –May require frequent alignment and calibration –Excessive vibration may cause lamp filament damage and premature burnout –Limited to machines that can be stopped Photoelectric

(of 185) Safeguarding Action –As the machine begins to cycle, the operator's hands are pulled out of the danger area Advantages –Eliminates the need for auxiliary barriers or other interference at the danger area Limitations –Limits movement of operator –May obstruct work-space around operator –Adjustments must be made for specific operations and for each individual –Requires frequent inspections and regular maintenance –Requires close supervision of the operator's use of the equipment Pullbacks

(of 185) Safeguarding Action –Prevents the operator from reaching into the danger area Advantages –Little risk of mechanical failure Limitations –Limits movements of operator –May obstruct work-space –Adjustments must be made for specific operations and each individual –Requires close supervision of the operator's use of the equipment Restraint (holdback)

(of 185) Safeguarding Action –Stops machine tripped Advantages –Simplicity of controls Limitations –Other guards are also required for operator protection--usually fixed barrier guards –Requires frequent maintenance –May not be adaptable to stock variation Safety Trip Controls

(of 185) Safety Trip Controls (contd) When pressed by hand, the safety tripod deactivates the machine. Because it has to be actuated by the operator during an emergency situation, its proper position is also critical.

(of 185) Safety Tripwire Cables Are located around the perimeter of or near the danger area. The operator must be able to reach the cable with either hand to stop the machine. Calender equipped with this type of control.

(of 185) Safeguarding Action –Concurrent use of both hands is required, preventing the operator form entering the danger area Advantages –Operators hands are at a predetermined location –Operators hands are free to pick up a new part after first half of cycle is completed Limitations –Requires a partial cycle machine with a brake –Some two-hand controls can be rendered unsafe by holding with arm or blocking, thereby permitting one-hand operation Protects only the operator Two Hand Controls

(of 185) Not Two Hand Controls

(of 185) Two Hand Trip Requires concurrent application of both of the operator's control buttons to activate the machine cycle, after which the hands are free. Trips must be placed far enough from the point of operation to make it impossible for the operator to move his or her hands from the trip buttons or handles into the point of operation before the first half of the cycle is completed.

(of 185) This is in further response to your letter dated April 5, 1983, concerning the guarding of flywheels on power presses. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's General Industry Standards 29 CFR 1910.219(b)(1) and (b)(1)(vi) require guarding of the press flywheel. Furthermore, the latter provision requires that flywheels above working areas be provided with guards of sufficient strength to contain the flywheel in the event of shaft or wheel mounting failure. Reference to ANSI 815.1-1972, the current version of the source standard, rapidly demonstrates that structural failures are possible. Appendix AB.1 of ANSI 815.1 indicates that failures of a fatigue nature can be anticipated, particularly for older machines that have been continually exposed to cyclic leads. Therefore, substantial guarding is necessary to provide safety. That company die setter's need to have easy access to the flywheel for die-setting for is completely valid and should be a major consideration of the guarding provided. In that regard, the guard configuration enclosed is recommended for consideration. LETTER OF INTERPRETATION
