    MACHINE GUARDING

    2 hour training program

    Introduction:

    Every day, workers across Canada suffer disabling injuries due to poor machine guarding.

    Injuries can range from minor pinch or crush injuries to amputations and burns. In some cases, a lack of appropriate guarding can result in death.

    Machine guarding involves more than simply installing a physical barrier between the worker and the danger area. It often requires thoughtful and innovative consideration of the relationship between the worker’s operating requirements and the need to effectively eliminate the risk of contact with harmful energy.

    This program explores that relationship, focussing on workplace-specific improvements to machine guarding issues.
