FOR YOUR PROTECTION - WORK SAFELY.
Some of these precautions and other safety precautions are discussed in the American National
Standards Institute Standard entitled Safety Requirements for the Construction, Care, and Use of
Drilling, Milling, and Boring Machines (ANSI B11.8-1983).

Safeguarding for protection at the point of operation can only be designed and constructed when
the parameters of the particular operation have been determined. As a result, ANSI B11.8-1983,
Section 5.1, states that “it shall be the responsibility of the employer to provide, and ensure the use
of, a guard, guarding device, awareness barrier, awareness device, or shield...”
To assist machine users in designing point of operation safeguarding for their specific machine
applications the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has published a booklet entitled
Concepts and Techniques of Machine Safeguarding (O.S.H.A. Publication Number 3067).
