This information has been developed by an OSHA Compliance Officer and is
intended to assist employers, workers, and others as they strive to improve
workplace health and safety. While we attempt to thoroughly address specific
topics (or hazards), it is not possible to include discussion of everything
necessary to ensure a healthy and safe working environment in a presentation
of this nature. Thus, this information must be understood as a tool for
addressing workplace hazards, rather than an exhaustive statement of an
employer’s legal obligations, which are defined by statute, regulations, and
standards. Likewise, to the extent that this information references practices or
procedures that may enhance health or safety, but which are not required by a
statute, regulation, or standard, it cannot, and does not, create additional legal
obligations. Finally, over time, OSHA may modify rules and interpretations in
light of new technology, information, or circumstances; to keep apprised of such
developments, or to review information on a wide range of occupational safety
and health topics, you can visit OSHA’s website at www.osha.gov.

Examples of guarding methods are-barrier guards, two-hand tripping devices, electronic safety devices, etc. Also, notice on the slide that there are fixture channels on the shear table that are unguarded. Those channels permit the guards to be bypassed and are often not taken into account when the employer measures the opening between the guard and the table. There was an amputation at Seal Tite a couple of years ago when the operator had his hand go under the guard (we think because of an open fixture channel) and into the blade.
