OSHA’S ACT AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS
Since the enclosed equipment can never overcome a mechanical
deficiency, defect or malfunction in the machine itself, OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has established certain
safety regulations 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.
