Machine Guarding - Assessment of Need. Field Survey Supplement.

PB276409

Publication Date	1975
Page Count	100
Abstract	Field surveys were developed and completed to accumulate data on machine guarding by on-site facility inspection. The fact that many companies are not using existing standards and that approximately one-third of all machines observed were unguarded is evidence that machine guarding is used less than required. Machines and machine operations are found to be hazardous to workers and there is a definite need for guarding. Woodworking machines, metalworking machines, and power transmission devices are included. (Color illustrations reproduced in black and white)
