Press safety is the area of industry concerned with protecting workers from potential injuries that result from the operation of tool and die presses. Like other machine guards, press guards protect machine operators from preventable injuries due to contact with moving parts or their emissions. In tool and die operations, this includes not only the actual machinery involved in the process, but also hot materials being pressed.
Machine guards are structures that provide press safety, protecting machine operators from accidental contact with potentially dangerous mechanisms. Some of the injuries that can result from work with machinery include burns, broken bones, blindness, amputation, and deep cuts. In order to avoid such injuries, any part of a machine that could harm a worker must have a machine guard around it.
OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is a government agency that creates standards for workplace press safety measures. OSHA has set specific standards concerning the institution and use of machine guards in tool and die shops. These regulations are legal requirements that plants must follow.
