Frankfort, KY — A free training video created by the Kentucky Labor Cabinet’s Division of Education and Training is focused on effective machine guarding to eliminate incidents and injuries associated with moving machine parts.
The 20-minute video covers OSHA requirements under the agency’s standard on machinery and machine guarding (1910 Subpart O), types of guarding and their purposes, and tips on recognizing common hazards and solutions.
More than 800 workers are killed and around 18,000 are injured in machine-related incidents each year, KYSAFE says. Amputation is one of the most common injuries for workers who operate machinery.
