Common Machine-Guarding Safety Violations

Accidents sometimes occur through no fault of the employee or employer. However, in many other situations, simply following recommendations and regulations could have prevented injury or even saved a life. Some of the most common machine-guarding safety violations are as follows:

• Reaching into "clear" equipment
• Not using lockout/tagout procedures
• Unauthorized persons performing maintenance on or using the machines
• Missing or loose machine guards
