020: What Are The OSHA Machine Guarding Requirements?

June 10, 2022 • GotSafety • Season 1 • Episode 20

Michael and Rick are safety experts and they discuss machine guarding and how it can end up being an OSHA fine. In Episode 20 of the OSHA Oops Podcast, they discuss the importance of guarding the point of operation on all machines. The point of operation is the part of the machine where the work is being done. If this area is not properly guarded, it can pose a serious hazard to workers.

In one case, a California company was fined for failing to properly guard the point of operation on a floor-mounted drill press. As a result of this incident, the company has learned the importance of guarding all points of operation on all machines.
