Safeguarding Concepts Illustrated presents methods to protect operators and other employees from hazards inherent in operating machines and equipment. It is intended for readers who have a working knowledge of the kinds of exposures usually encountered, but who may need more information on safeguarding principles, criteria, methods and devices.
Although machines and equipment are often manufactured with a necessary safeguarding to meet applicable mandatory and/or voluntary standards, sometimes the purchaser or user may need to fabricate or have the manufacturer fabricate an additional safeguarding device. Safeguarding Concepts Illustrated provides examples of both integral and applied guards on many types of machines and equipment. This is an essential reference guide for every manufacturing facility.
