What are the two types of primary safety guarding methods?

The two primary safety guarding methods are:

Physical Guards – Barriers that physically prevent contact with hazards, such as:

• Fixed Guards
• Interlocked Guards
• Adjustable Guards
• Self-Adjusting Guards

Safeguarding Devices – Systems that detect or stop hazardous machine operations, such as:

• Light Curtains
• Pressure-Sensitive Mats
• Two-Hand Controls
• Safety Interlocks

These methods work together to protect workers, ensure compliance with safety standards, and minimize risks in hazardous environments.
