Protect yourself from pinch points...
ll Machine guards are designed to protect you from pinch points.
Always keep them in place, even if it slows down productivity. Replace
them if they malfunction.
ll Always use machinery correctly. Shut a machine down before trying to
correct a malfunction or jam and be sure to use the correct
lockout/tagout procedures.
ll Use push-sticks and jigs whenever possible, rather
than your fingers, to position materials being
machined.
ll Follow safety procedures when moving heavy
or bulky material.
ll Avoid horseplay on the job.
ll Avoid loose clothing or jewelry that can get
caught in pinch points. Keep long hair restrained.
Above all, stay alert.
Carelessness around pinch points can be deadly
