Defence strategies

Article Abstract:

Industrial workers must be protected against both mechanical hazards, such as entanglement and impact, and non-mechanical machinery hazards, such as noise and radiation. Types of safety devices include fixed close guards, fixed distance guards and interlock guards. The protection of maintenance personnel during repair operations requires such special precautions as the isolation of the machine from its power source. Regulations on the required safety standards are reviewed.
