Skills covered in this course
Description
Without proper machine guarding, everyday tasks around equipment can result in crushing injuries, amputations, and worse - often in a fraction of a second.
Machine Guarding teaches frontline workers to recognize hazards, understand what's protecting them, and act when something isn't right. Built around the KNOW, SPOT, ACT framework, this course prepares workers to see the hazard, check the guard, and take the right action - before it's too late. An interactive simulation is available for desktop, mobile, and VR headsets.
Drawn from OSHA Standards 1910.212, .213, .215, .219, 1926.300, and industry best practices.
