What is an example of guarding?

An example of guarding is a machine guard placed around moving parts, such as gears, belts, or rotating saw blades, to prevent workers from coming into contact with hazardous areas.

Other examples include:

• Guardrails – Prevent falls from elevated platforms or open edges.
• Conveyor Guards – Block access to moving belts or rollers.
• Hole Covers – Protect against falls into floor openings or trenches.
• Debris Screens – Contain sparks or flying materials from machinery.

Guarding is used in various applications to protect workers from injuries and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
