Hazards created by nip points, rotating parts, sparks, and flying debris are often unavoidable dangers of manufacturing operations. Mounted machine safeguarding from John Henry Foster will protect the operator, workers, and your operations.

Types of Machine Guards

• Guards –  These are physical barriers that prevent contact. They can be fixed guards, interlocked, adjustable, or self-adjusting.
• Devices – These limit or prevent access to the danger area. These can be presence-sensing devices, pullback or restraint straps, safety trip controls, two-hand controls, or gates.
• Automated Feeding and Ejection Mechanisms – These eliminate the operator’s exposure to the point of operation while handling materials.
• Miscellaneous Devices –  Examples include shields to contain chips, sparks, sprays, or other forms of flying debris from parts of the machine. These can also be holding tools. An operator can use those to handle materials going into the point of operation in the moving machine parts. Another example includes awareness barriers that warn people about potential hazards in the area.
