What is the primary purpose of machine guarding?
MACHINE GUARDING
3
A.
To make the machine run faster
B.
To reduce the amount of noise produced by the machine
C.
To protect operators and other employees from hazards
D.
To make the machine easier to operate
That's correct.
Never start machinery without machine guards in place.
If the guard is missing or not working properly, cease operation immediately and contact a superior.
Do not adjust or remove any machine guards without proper authorization. The safeguarding was put in place for a reason and is not meant to be a suggestion.
OSHA estimates that there are 24,882 injuries and as many as 36 fatalities per year due to falls on stairways and ladders used in construction. Nearly half of these injuries were serious enough to require time off the job.
Ladder Safety Tips
2
Visually inspect for defects
Use the correct ladder for the task
1
Mark or tag damaged or defective ladders "DO NOT USE" or destroy them immediately.
4
Be sure load rating can support the weight of user + materials + tools
3
Structural damage
Grease, dirt, contaminants
Paint or stickers covering possible defects
Reducing falls in construction:
Eliminate hazards by following good safety practices.

What is the purpose of lockout/tagout?
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT
5
The last person to lockout/tagout the equipment is Henry. Bob needs to work on the same equipment the following day. Bob can unlock the equipment because he is wearing insulated gloves and sleeves.
Bonus Question
D.
To prevent unauthorized access to machines and equipment
C.
To ensure that machines and equipment are properly maintained
B.
To prevent the release of hazardous energy during servicing and maintenance
A.
To protect workers from electrical hazards
Lockout/tagout procedures prevent the unintended release of hazardous energy (including stored energy), as well as the unintended start-up or motion of machinery, equipment, or processes.
That's correct.
True
False
Correct. Only the person who installed the lockout/tagout is permitted to remove it.
That's not right. Each lock should only have one key (no master keys are allowed).
All keys must be removed from locks and kept with the person who applied the lock.
