| The Do's and Don'ts of Fixed and Moveable Machine Guards |
|
Manufacturers often face a variety of machine guarding challenges, including, among others:
- old equipment vs. new equipment
- point-of-operation vs. mechanical power transmission
- highly automated, multiple purpose machines vs. manual, single purpose machines
- continuous utilization vs. infrequent use
Even though the guarding challenges may be disparate, one common need emerges for all applications - finding the uncompromised method for protecting workers while simultaneously providing for optimum productivity. The simplest approach is often the best.
Learn more in The Do's and Don'ts of Fixed and Moveable Machine Guards, Part 1 and Part 2, written by Omron STI's John Peabody and published by EHSToday.com.
