OSHA’S ACT AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS
Since the enclosed equipment can never overcome a mechanical defi-
ciency, defect or malfunction in the machine itself, OSHA (Occupational
Safety and Health Administration) has established certain safety regula-
tions that the employers (users) must comply with so that the machines
used in their plants, factories or facilities are thoroughly inspected
and are in first-class operating condition before any of the enclosed
equipment is installed.
1. An Act – Public Law 91 - 596, 91st Congress, S. 2193,
December 29, 1970
Duties:
Sec. 5. (a) Each employer —
(1)
shall furnish to each of his employees employ-
ment and a place of employment which are free from recog-
nized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or
serious physical harm to his employees;
(2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards
promulgated under this Act.
(b) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and
health standards and all rules, regulations, and orders issued
pursuant to this Act which are applicable to his own actions
and conduct.
2. OSHA’s Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart O, that an
employer (user) must comply with include:
Section 1910.211 Definitions
Se ction 1910.212 (a) General Requirements for all Machines
Section 1910.217 Mechanical Power Presses
Se ction 1910.219 (b)(1) Mechanical Power-Transmission Apparatus
(Flywheel and Gear Covers)
3. OSHA’s 29 Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart J 1910.147
The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout / Tagout)
