> New hire training Annual retraining Machine guarding training OSHA required: no OSHA regulations: 1910.212-213, 215-216, 219; 1917.151 This training is for workers who operate complex machinery. OSHA requires that one or more methods of machine guarding be provided to protect the operator and other employees in the machine area from hazards created by moving parts, as well as preventing contact with other hazards such as heat, non-ionizing radiation, sharp edges, etc. Machines that are not properly safeguarded can cause serious injury, such as crushed or severed fingers, hands and arms, eye injuries, and even blindness. Shortcuts around machine safety features are a frequently cited cause for many machine-related accidents, occurring when workers decide to forego the normal protocol of working with a safeguard and bypass it altogether, leaving them with considerable risk of harm and injury. Note: Mechanical power-press operation law specifically requires training before exposure and at least annually thereafter. Training frequency: Prior to use Annual retraining Overhead and gantry cranes training OSHA required:
