Machine Guarding Safety Training Course
The training for Machine Guarding by OSHA is divided into two sessions structured around theory and practical lessons. Learners must complete each lesson presented to ensure understanding of the concepts taught.
OSHA Machine Guarding Safety Training: Introduction
Lesson 1: Introduction to Machine Safeguarding
Machine safeguarding is crucial for preventing serious injuries like amputations. This lesson covers both mechanical and non-mechanical hazards, OSHA safety regulations, and the hazards associated with unguarded machines. Participants will also learn how to identify risks and conduct hazard analysis to improve safety practices.
Lesson 2: Primary Safeguarding Methods
This lesson explores different types of guards, such as fixed, interlocked, and adjustable guards, as well as examines safety devices like photoelectric sensors. Installation considerations and performance standards will also be covered.
Lesson 3: Secondary Safeguarding Methods
It discusses secondary safeguarding methods essential for worker safety when primary safety measures are not feasible. We will discuss various techniques, including safeguarding by location, safe distance, safe holding, and safe opening methods. Additionally, we will cover feeding and ejection methods, awareness aids, and the importance of safe work procedures and administrative controls in minimizing machine hazards.
Lesson 4: Requirements for Safeguards
This lesson covers safeguarding requirements. It discusses lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and how ergonomics play a role in safety. Maintenance protocols and safeguarding for robotic systems are also key elements in ensuring a secure work environment.
