Machine Guarding – Amputation Prevention: Amputation Prevention

This course provides comprehensive insights into preventing injuries associated with stationary equipment. Participants will learn about two crucial preventative measures: guards and devices. Guards act as physical barriers, ensuring a safe distance from moving parts, while devices are designed to limit or stop a machine if hands or foreign objects approach hazardous areas. The course emphasizes the importance of proper training, daily machine inspection, lockout-tagout procedures, and administrative controls to ensure a safe working environment.
