1.2.2 Access to Information
We strongly recommend that a copy of these safety instructions and all
provided guides, manuals, and technical information be kept near the
machine. This information should be organized for quick access and used
by operators, maintenance, and other personnel with duties related to the
machining center.
Access to this information:
• May save a life.
• Will prevent or reduce injury, mis-operation, and machining center
damage.
In the event that parts of this information become damaged or unusable,
replace them immediately.
1.2.3 Point-of-operation
“Point-of-operation” should be safeguarded to the greatest extent possible
for all machining operations.
In addition to panel locks, interlocks, and guarding, certain areas of the
machining center are color coded for safety. It is important that the original
color and vividness of these areas be maintained.
Different operations or applications may make the general purpose safe-
guards unsuitable and require additional safeguards. You and your com-
pany are required to use special safeguards in these situations.
To assist in designing point-of-operation safeguards for specific machin-
ing center applications:
• OSHA has published a booklet called OSHA Publication No. 3067.
• Films regarding safety requirements for machine tools are available
from ANSI and trade groups such as NMTBA (National Machine Tool
Builders Association).
