Machine Safeguarding Seminar
According to safety
standards, when a machine creates a hazard to operators and other
employees in the machine area, it must be safeguarded. Rockford
Systems offers a machine safeguarding seminar to teach people in
positions of responsibility how to safeguard the point of operation
and other machine hazards to meet these safety standards. This 2½-day
seminar explains how to interpret the performance language of both
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and ANSI (American
National Standards Institute) standards. Specific machine safeguarding
situations are also discussed.
Another section
of the machine safeguarding seminar provides basic safeguarding
guidelines for other metalworking machines using the ANSI B11-series
safety standards.
Seminars combine
classroom discussion with demonstrations of machines under power.
Hands-on experience with these machines and visual aids, including
slides and videos, are also used. These teaching methods enable
the participants to interpret the OSHA and ANSI standards as they
relate to their specific machine applications and production requirements.
