National Machine Accident Attorneys
Machine-related injuries are very common, but these accidents can be prevented. There are safety rules about machine guarding mandated by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). Unfortunately, these rules are often ignored, exposing workers to life-threatening dangers. In fact, failing to properly guard machines is one of the top 10 reasons that employers are cited for OSHA violations.
What is Machine Guarding?
OSHA requires a shield or device to cover hazardous areas of a machine. This shield is designed to prevent contact with body parts. It also helps to control hazards associated with these machines, including flying wood or metal chips and loud, ear-damaging noise.
If not properly guarded, machines such as those listed below can cause severe crushing or amputation injuries:
- Guillotine cutters
- Bailers
- Alligator shears and other types of shears
- Power presses
- Mill machinery
- Various handheld power tools
- Power saws
- Jointers
- Forming rolls and calendars
- Shredders
