This 20-minute Machine Guarding Safety Training course explains the foundations of machine guarding hazards on construction sites. Saws, point-of-operation hazards, hand tools, power tools, shafts, pulleys, gears, in-running nip points and saws are all included. Students will learn how to recognize these dangers and take precautions to avoid injuries.

Students can inspect machinery in a virtual environment using an interactive simulation, identifying and repairing safety issues. By using an interactive simulation, this training program can reduce the number of accidents by ensuring that people understand and follow safety procedures when using machinery. Using the best practices in the industry and OSHA Standard 1910.212, students will be able to identify the primary types of machine guards, the hazards that machine guarding can reduce, unsafe machine guarding practices and the machine parts that must be guarded.

Topics to be covered:

• Identify the many types of machine guards

• Determine the types of hazards that can be reduced by machine guarding

• Determine dangerous machine guarding techniques

• Show that you understand safe machine guarding and machine operation procedures

• Determine which machine parts require protection
