Mechanical Power Press Safety Engineering Guide.

PB80195340

Publication Date	1976
Page Count	230
Abstract	This guide explores the technical, behavioral, and ergonomic aspects of mechanical power press safety as it pertains to workers who set dies on, operate, and maintain presses. Various safeguarding systems are evaluated and recommendations are given for proper use to safeguard the press worker from various hazards including the inherent hazard of a press, which is the hazard of being injured at the point of operation. Each safeguarding system is described. Installation instructions and recommendations are outlined. Maintenance instructions are covered in order to assure that the system is properly maintained so as not to compromise its safeguarding performance. Advantages and disadvantages of each system are given as an aid to the safety professional when he has to make a safeguarding system decision. An installation checklist is provided to ensure proper installation. A safety inspection checklist is provided and must be completed at specified intervals to ensure continued proper operation and safeguarding integrity of the system. A special section is devoted to information that will aid the safety professional to reach a decision as to which safeguarding system is best suited to his particular presses. A safety responsibilities section delineates the particular responsibilities of each group of people who are involved with presses in the hope that their involvement will be both safe and productive.
