Safety guards are physical barriers that are constructed around moving parts and potentially dangerous machinery. Designed to protect workers from any preventable injuries related with the operation of machinery, safety guards come in various forms. Many safety guards are specifically designed to meet the safety needs of a particular device or mechanism.
Safety guards can be made of various materials, including metals, plastics, and wood. Although metal is probably the most commonly used material, environments that are prone to corrosion usually use safety barriers made of wood or plastic.
Some of the injuries that can result from work with machinery include burns, broken bones, blindness, amputation, and deep cuts. OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is a government agency that has set specific standards concerning the institution and use of safety guards in industrial plants. In complying with OSHA regulations, manufacturers protect themselves from potentially expensive lawsuits.
