The General Requirements for Guarding of Machinery:
Adelaide
Multiple requirements for machine guarding are provided to
protect the operator and other involved employees in the machine
area from hazards… What are these general requirements?
Ideally, machine guards should be affixed to the machine where
possible and secured elsewhere if for some reason connection or
attachment to the machine is not possible to prevent access to
the hazard from all accessible approaches including front, back,
bottom and top side. The most common examples of guarding
methods include: two-hand tripping devices or electronic safety
devices, and barrier guards.
Machines should always be operated with safety guards in place
except when a guard has to be detached following a documented
procedure, such as machine maintenance, that ensures
personnel protection. Such tasks may cover those for repair or
adjustment. Machine guards should be reattached before the
machine is put back in use.
