Introduction to Machine Guarding
• The intent of machine guarding is to minimize the risk of accidents from machine operator contact.
2
Introduction to Machine Guarding
• Safeguards are essential for protecting workers from needless and preventable injuries such as crushed hands and arms, severed fingers, and blindness.
3
Activity
• Employees make contact with a machine - usually the moving part - for many reasons, including:
• List 5
4
Introduction to Machine Guarding
• Amputations are some of the most serious and debilitating workplace injuries.
• They are widespread and involve a variety of activities and equipment.
• Amputations occur most often when workers operate unguarded or inadequately guarded machines.
5
Introduction to Machine Guarding
• Besides normal operations, the following activities involving stationary machines also expose workers to potential amputation hazards:
• setting-up, threading, preparing, adjusting, cleaning, lubricating and maintaining machines as well as clearing jams.

• Berryman said the man's head or neck would have been hit next.
13
July 2015
• MIDDLEFIELD, Ohio – Shady Knob violated the law when they allowed a 14-year-old boy to operate machinery, which resulted in him losing his hand.
• “Workers under age 18 are prohibited from operating power-driven woodworking machinery, such as the wood planer used here,” said Howard Eberts, OSHA’s area director in Cleveland. 14
Unsafe!
Safe
April 2015• Elk Grove Village, IL• The worker became
caught in a power lathe, a machine that spins quickly to shape or cut products including metal and wood
15
April 2015• Ohio• $1.4 million penalties• Willful Lockout and guarding• On April 7, a 17-year-old temp
employee suffered the amputation of his left leg from the knee down when he was cleaning the liver-giblet chiller machine.
• The teen has been unable to return to work due to his injuries, and he was fired after the incident.
16
March 2015• Island Lake IL• The machinist was
using sandpaper to remove surface rust from a part of a computer-run machine.
• His hand was caught and pulled into rotating parts, breaking his bones.
• The worker underwent several surgeries and rehabilitation
17
March 2015• Chicago• Allen says that on March
25, a fourteen-year-old boy was operating a planer at the business, when his shirt became caught in the machinery which caused severe damage to one of the teen's hands
18
February 2015• Ashley Furniture Industries Inc.
employees have suffered more than 1,000 work-related injuries, including more than 100 amputations from woodworking machinery, over a three-and-a-half year period.
• $1,760,000 fine
19
December 2015• Tragedy struck a Sparks, NV,
machine shop when a 33-year-old machinist died after his clothing became entangled in a vertical lathe and pulled him into the equipment.
• Rescuers responded to a call about 6 a.m. Dec. 10 at Ebara International Corporation, but were unable to save Jason Cheely.
20
Typical lathe
October 2014• The employee was killed after
he became entangled in a conveyor belt at the company's lumber mill in Fulton.
• The worker, employed at the company for less than two weeks, was cleaning up sawdust and bark around an unguarded conveyor when the entanglement occurred
June 2014• Belvidere, IL• Jake Frisella, a 21-year-old
machine operator, was fatally crushed reaching into an auto bumper machine to align parts on June 10, 2014.
• A Stateline family has filed a lawsuit against a manufacturer they say installed a machine that led to the death of their 21-year-old son.
22
Typical Auto bumper assembly machine
July 2014• Cordova NY• A 45-year-old lost part of three
fingers when his left hand caught in a table saw at a Cordova company that fabricates reusable shipping containers.
• Doctors reattached the fingers, but had to amputate the tip of his left middle finger.
• The employee has been unable to return to work.
This is a guarded table saw.
This table saw is in violation because it does not have a guard, anti-kickback, and a spreader.
Activity• Do you know of any accidents
in your facility where an employee has been injured or killed because a machine safeguard was not in use at the time?
• Or any accident which could have been prevented if better safeguarding had been available?
• Briefly describe what happened, what was done to prevent its recurrence and what happened to the employee.
• ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Safety Codes• Safety Code for Mechanical
Power Transmission Apparatus published in the 1940’s by American Standards Association
• Very similar to OSHA 1910.219 std.
• Required forethought guarding vs. afterthought guarding for machine manufacturers
25
IL 2000-2007
• 3984 Amputations• 50% of top 10 were temp agencies• 11.5% of the companies had two
amputations• 343 whole hand, 68 forearm, 20 upper arm• 24 Whole foot, 32 whole leg, 24 lower leg
26
Basics of Machine Safeguarding • There seems to be as
many hazards created by moving machine parts as there are types of machines.
• Safeguards are essential for protecting workers from needless and preventable injuries
27
Four slide machine
Basics of Machine Safeguarding
• All machines consist of three fundamental areas
• the point of operation, • the power
transmission device• the operating controls
This plastic injection molding machine has an interlocked guard protecting the point of operation.
Basics of Machine Safeguarding
• The point of operation is where work is performed on the material, such as cutting, shaping, boring, or forming of stock.
A forming press would need guards or light curtains to prevent entry during operations.
Nip Point• Nip point - location
where machine pieces come together such as belts and a pulley, two in-running rollers, etc.
• Also called the Bite
30
Basics of Machine Safeguarding • The power transmission
apparatus is all components of the mechanical system which transmit energy to the part of the machine performing the work.
• These components include flywheels, pulleys, belts, connecting rods, couplings, cams, spindles, chains, cranks, and gears.
Many deaths have occurred when caught in the unguarded rotating shafts of equipment.
Basics of Machine Safeguarding • MotionsRotating: in-running nip points, spindles, shaft ends, couplingsReciprocating: back-and-forth, up-and-downTransverse: movement in a straight, continuous line
• OperationsCutting: bandsaws, drills, milling machines, lathesPunching: punch presses, notchersShearing: mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic shearsBending: press brakes, tube benders, plate rolls
ANSI B Series
• The user shall ensure that set-up and maintenance personnel and operators are trained to perform the functions for which they are responsible.
33
ANSI B Series
The user shall designate, provide, and ensure the use of at least one of the following methods of safeguarding that affords protection for the operator, consistent with the requirements of the task:• guard(s) • safeguarding device(s) • awareness barrier(s) or
awareness device(s)• safe work procedure(s).

Principles of Machine Guarding• Safe Distance - 7’ rule of belts,
etc.• Guards - employees can’t get in
hazardous area through the use of barriers.
• Table 0-10 for guard opening design (next page)
• Devices - Presence sensing mats, pullbacks, light curtains, restraints
41
Table O-10• Distance of opening from the point of operation hazard (in inches)• 1/2 to 1 1/2• 1 1/2 to 2 1/2• 2 1/2 to 3 ½• 3 1/2 to 5 ½• 5 1/2 to 6 ½• 6 1/2 to 7 ½• 7 1/2 to 12 ½• 12 1/2 to 15 ½• 15 1/2 to 17 ½• 17 1/2 to 31 ½
• Maximum width of opening (in inches)
• ¼• 3/8• ½• 5/8• ¾• 7/8• 1 ¼• 1 ½• 1 7/8• 2 1/8
42
Types of Machine Safeguards• Barriers and guards • Mechanical or electronic
devices that restrict contact, such as presence-sensing, restraining, or tripping devices, two-hand controls, or gates.
• Feeding and ejection methods that eliminate part handling in the hazard zone.
43
Light Curtains• Some amputations are linked to
machine failure, such as failure of a single-stroke linkage resulting in a "double cycle," electronic failure of two-hand controls, brake failure resulting in the slide falling, and jammed relays in light curtains.
44
• Unguarded nip points, rotating parts
• No P.O.O. Guarding
• Tongue grinder ¼”• Work Rest 1/8”• Unguarded pulleys• Unguarded Vertical
Belts
• Chain and sprocket not guarded
• Lower blade guard radial arm saw
• No punch press inspection records
• Unguarded horizontal belts
45
Most Cited
Amputations Most Wanted
46
Circular Saws
• Lower blade guard required
• Clean saw and blade to prevent guard from sticking
• Aurora 1998 - 100+ stitches from saw
47
Circular saw• Employee #1 was cutting 2x4
sections with the saw in his right hand, and he was using his left hand to position the wood.
• Employee #1 made a cut across the wood and his right foot stepped on the power cord, causing the saw to shift its direction and cut his left hand.
• Employee #1 will regain full function of his left fingers, but he will suffer some nerve damage in his thumb.
48
Vertical Bandsaw• Adjustable guard to
height of product• Many injuries by
guiding product into POO
• Handling cold slippery products will increase chances of slipping into POO
• Consider tools or “no Touch”
49
Horizontal Bandsaw
• Unused portion of blade need to be guarded
• No oversized blades used
50
Any Issues?
51
Radial Arm Saw• Lower blade
awareness device• Retracts to original
position• Does not extend past
plane of table• Anti-kick back device
52
Radial Arm saw• June 30, 2008,• Employee was using a radial
arm saw to cut a piece of 2-in. by 6-in. lumber for a Truss brace.
• Using the radial arm saw mounted on a bench, he placed the piece of lumber beneath the 16-in. blade holding it with his left hand.
• The running saw vibrated forward and struck the lumber, amputating the small finger in the process. 53
Table Saws
• Top guard• Magnetic restart• Spreader • Push sticks• Anti-kick device
54
Table sawOn December 29, 2011, Employee #1, a 29-year-old male was operating a Sears brand hand-fed table saw in the rear of facility. Employee #1 was ripping about two-inches off one end of pine boards, and the board momentarily paused close to the end of the cut and then went forward.
55
Chop Saw
• Lower blade awareness device
• Speed marked on saw• Clean saw blades to
prevent varnish/sap buildup
56
Conveyors
• Emergency stops placed
• ANSI B20.1• In-running nip points
guarded by fixed guards
• This elevator section unguarded
57
MIOSHA conveyors
• Rule 1411. • (1) An employer shall provide
training to an employee working on or by a conveyor regarding the hazards and safeguards of such work.
• (2) An employer shall establish an inspection program to maintain conveyor components in a condition which does not constitute a hazard to the employee.
58
Take-up Coils/Reels
• Often slow moving• Several amputations
due getting caught in nip point
• Interlock guards or barriers used
• Unguarded fabrictake-up roll nip point
59
Packaging Machines
• Multiple pinch points• Employee reach in to
clear jams• Fixed guards or light
curtains• Lockout is needed • 1999 - Aurora
amputation
60
Belt Sanders
• Hazard is nip point• Use fixed guard
61
Inspecting Secondary Operations Equipment
Drill Presses:1. On drill presses, drive belts are properly
guarded & compartment closed.2. Point of Operation guarding, in place and
used. If applicable.3. Check equipment for damage, including
wiring.
Drill Press
• Hair or clothing get caught in rotating shaft
• Automatic ones can guard against pinch point via 1/4 opening or presence sensing devices

December 2015• Tragedy struck a Sparks, NV, machine
shop when a 33-year-old machinist died after his clothing became entangled in a vertical lathe and pulled him into the equipment.
• Rescuers responded to a call about 6 a.m. Dec. 10 at Ebara International Corporation, but were unable to save Jason Cheely.
68
Typical lathe
Lathes• Eye protection glasses
with side-shields. • Use complete enclosure
guard • Interlock No loose
sleeves, long hair, or jewelry
• Work is securely clamped in the chuck.
• Start the lathe at low speed and increase the speed gradually.
• Removing the chuck key immediately after use.
69
Lathes 2010 - 2012
• While working in the Laboratory’s machine shop, Michele’s hair got caught in one of the shop’s wood lathes,
On November 9, 2010, Employee #1 was working on a lathe machine. He caught his clothing in the machine. A witness to the incident said, that somehow, Employee #1 worked his way out of the lathe; however, due to the force of him pulling away from the machine, he fell to the concrete, hit his head, and was killed. 70
Lathes• February 24, 2012, Employee
#1, a 45-year-old lathe operator, was moving product from an external inspection area to lathe operation area.
• He reached across the protruding stack which was being run when the lathe caught his jacket, pulling him into the rotation cycle.
• He died of his injuries 10 days after the accident.
71
Issues?
72
Auctioned or Used Machines
• Often missing guards• Employer must guard
even if not designed with them
• Consult ANSI standard applicable
73
Summary• If a four year could get
hurt with a machine, an adult will eventually get hurt too.
