Standards

OSHA Standard: 1926.300 & industry best practices

 

This module explains the basic knowledge of machine guarding hazards found on construction sites. This includes hand tools, power tools, saws, point-of-operation

hazards, in-running nip points, belts, shafts, pulleys, and gears.

 

Learners will discover how to identify these hazards and how to protect themselves from becoming an injury statistic.

 

An interactive simulation is included to guide learners through a virtual workshop environment allowing them to inspect various types of machinery searching for missing machine guards.
