Hand Tools And Machine Guarding: Take Safety Into Your Own Hands

Add to:

Does your agency have a shop or other maintenance facilities? Do you work with hand tools and other machines? If so, you may be at risk for injury, amputation or even death. Hand and power tools, both floor mounted and hand or portable, are widely used in the agencies of the Commonwealth. Proper inspection, care, maintenance and guarding of these tools along with up-to-date OSHA/VOSH programs can help reduce or prevent occurrences of machine malfunction or misuse. This course will cover elements of the OSHA/VOSH standards including machine guarding, Personal Protective Equipment requirements, inspections, maintenance, and safety policy.
