Safety for Managers: 01. Machine Guard Safety for Managers

Safety for Managers: 01. Machine Guard Safety for Managers provides life-saving tips on the use of guards fitted to your facility’s machinery. We don’t use the term “life-saving” lightly. Did you know that 18,000 American workers are injured by machinery every year? Did you know that there are some 800 deaths attributed to machine injury annually? On the upside, workers can work faster and more efficiently these days than ever before because they have well-designed machinery. So that’s why this video course focuses on managing safe worker use of machines and guards.

OSHA has a set of requirements for machinery guards and this course, part of our Safety for Managers series, covers them in detail. We talk about the manager’s responsibility for providing hands-on training so that safety devices or guards are always used correctly. Following the course, be sure to download the accompanying notes that list the course contents. There’s room for your own notes when reviewing what you learned.
