What is the purpose of a safety guard?

The purpose of a safety guard is to protect workers by preventing contact with hazardous machine parts, reducing the risk of injuries. It serves to:

• Block Access – Acts as a physical barrier to keep body parts away from moving parts.
• Contain Hazards – Prevents debris, sparks, or broken parts from escaping.
• Ensure Compliance – Meets safety standards like OSHA for workplace safety.
• Improve Safety – Reduces accidents and injuries in hazardous areas.
• Maintain Productivity – Allows machines to operate safely without interruption.

Safety guards are essential for creating a safer, compliant, and more efficient work environment.
