MACHIINE GUARDING SAFETY TIPS
Machines are like a double-edged sword. On one hand, they create a level of efficiency that is
unreachable for manual operations. This means production increases along with your bottom
line. On the other hand, these machines can be extremely dangerous, especially since there is
often the need for an operator or at least some human involvement. These accidents can range
from a crushed finger to amputation and death. So how are these risks reduced? The answer is
safeguarding by way of implementing machine guard safety.
1. Do not adjust or remove any machine guards without proper authorization. The
safeguarding was put into place for a reason, and are not meant to be suggestion.
3. If the guard is missing or not working properly, cease operation immediately and
contact a superior.
4. Jewelry, like rings and watches should not be worn while operating any machinery.
Any loose clothing that could get caught in the moving parts of a machine should also
be avoided.
Getting cement dust or wet cement on the skin can cause burns, rashes, and other
kinds of skin irritation. Lime, found in most cements is often the cause
Some workers slowly become allergic to cement if they are in contact with it over
a long period of time.
Cement dust and wet cement can also irritate the eyes.
