Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which effective machine-guarding practices / systems are being utilized at Company XYZ in order to protect employees from experiencing serious and potentially life-threatening injuries. The study had four goals: to collect and analyze Company XYZ employee injury reports in order to identify accidents that were caused by inadequate machine-safeguards; to evaluate employee training records to identify the degree to which workers are educated on the effective means of machine safety as well as meeting the minimum compliance OSHA machine-guarding requirement; to assess drill bit production machines to determine the degree to which existing machine-safeguarding practices are appropriately protecting workers from experiencing serious bodily injures or death; and to assess Company XYZ employee hazard training records to determine the level of employee adherence to the training records as well as OSHA compliance minimum requirements.
