Program Description:
Innovative Solutions for Machine Guarding and Worker Protection
How do you keep workers safe around a machine that no one has been able to guard effectively? Well we are going to discover the tools for doing just that. Machines requiring a simple "off the shelf" guard are easy, and those machines are usually guarded properly (although not always). However some machines have been in service for 50 years, and I've seen machines that have been in operation for nearly 80 years. These are the machines that are frequently unguarded and there's a reason, because no one has been able to figure out how to do it. While we don't perform miracles and sometimes there is still no solid solution, usually we can reduce the risk without eliminating all of it. We do this a number of ways by employing a variety of techniques and resources. From arrival to departure, what happens between those times will determine if we can improve safety around a machine and if so to what extent. This is what we will discover and learn.
