SAFEGUARDING THE POINT OF OPERATION
ANSI B11.2 – Hydraulic Power Presses
Safety Requirements for Construction, Care and Use
It is important that Dake press users have a clear understanding of their responsibility
involving the care and use of their Dake hydraulic press, including point-of-operation safe
guards. Dake strongly recommends that Dake press users obtain a copy of the current
American National Standard Institute (ANSI) B11.2 standard, for a more complete
understanding of their responsibilities.
ANSI B11.2 states the following, relative to point of operation safeguarding:
“Normally, only the employer (press user) can determine the requirements of the press
productions system components, including the dies and methods for feeding. There fore, the
employer is ultimately responsible to designate and provide the point-of-operation
safeguarding system”.
The standard also discusses additional responsibilities of the employer. Some of the key
responsibilities are:
The employer is responsible for the safety, use and care of the hydraulic power press
production system.
The employer is responsible to consider the sources of hazards for all tasks to be
implemented on the hydraulic power press production system.
The employer is required to eliminate or control identified hazards in the scope of their work
activity.
The employer is responsible for the training of personnel, caring for, inspecting, maintaining
and operating hydraulic press production systems to ensure their competence.
The employer is responsible to provide and ensure that point-of-operation safeguarding is
used, checked, maintained and where applicable, adjusted on ever production operation
performed on a press production system.
