Mechanical Heavy.Certificate.Machinery and Machine Guarding

Even the most elaborate safeguarding system cannot offer effective protection unless the worker knows how to use it and why. Specific and detailed training is therefore a crucial part of any effort to provide safeguarding against machine-related hazards. Thorough operator training should involve instruction or hands-on training in the following:

1. A description and identification of the hazards associated with particular machines;

2. The safeguards themselves, how they provide protection, and the hazards for which they are intended;

3. How to use the safeguards and why;

4. How and under what circumstances safeguards can be removed, and by whom (in most cases, repair or maintenance personnel only); and 

5. What to do (e.g., contact the supervisor) if a safeguard is damaged, missing, or unable to provide adequate protection.

This kind of safety training is necessary for new operators and maintenance or setup personnel, when any new or altered safeguards are put in service, or when workers are assigned to a new machine or operation.
