about Machine Safety, including the hazards of machines and how the
risks are eliminated.

With today's increased need for minerals, cold metal, and non-metal, high
complicated machinery is playing a more important role, according to what I've learned
from 1970s stock footage regarding accident prevention through equipment guarding. A
range of potential risks is introduced along with the complexity and speed of the
machinery. Equipment guarding and greater worker knowledge are two of the most
effective methods for reducing or eliminating these hazards. Guards should be put to
expose moving parts such as gears, wheels, and shaft ends. It is physically difficult to
completely guard every piece of machinery, but where it is possible, guards should be
placed to expose rotating parts such as gears, wheels, and shaft ends. If not properly
guarded, reciprocating arms and moving belts can all be dangerous.
