Machine Guarding – Orientation
We use machines in almost every operation done today. From using a screwdriver, to driving a car, to operating a hand saw, every tool we use has an application and protective measures to keep us safe. All machines can be hazardous and machine guards keep us safe. Machine Guards are what stands between you and the tool you are using and come in many forms.

Machine Guarding – Amputation Prevention
In every workplace today, machines are used for a variety of tasks and goals, from printing paper to manufacturing, to packaging. Machines make our life easier and more efficient. However, this productivity can come at a price. Machines, with all their complexity and power, also have the ability to easily injure and even kill you. Especially machines with extensive moving parts and those which are more powerful than a normal person. The risks, particularly of amputation, is high.
