Efficient and safe machine operation depends on the development, implementation and enforcement of a safety program. This program requires, 
among other things, the proper selection of point-of-operation guards and safety devices for each particular job or operation, a thorough safety 
training program for all machine personnel, that includes instruction on the proper operation of the machine, the point-of-operation guards and 
safety devices on the machine, and a regularly scheduled inspection and maintenance program.
Rules and procedures covering each aspect of your safety program should be developed and published both in an operator’s safety manual, as 
well as in prominent places throughout the plant and on each machine. Some rules or instructions which must be conveyed to your personnel and 
incorporated into your program include:

A company’s safety program must involve everyone in the company, from top management to operators, since only as a group can any operational 
problems be identified and resolved. It is everyone’s responsibility to implement and communicate the information and material contained in catalogs 
and instruction manuals to all persons involved in machine operation. If a language barrier or insufficient education would prevent a person from 
reading and understanding various literature available, it should be translated, read or interpreted to the person, with assurance that it is understood.

Never

 

place your hands or any part of your body in this machine.

Never

 

operate this machine without proper eye, face and body protection.

Never

 operate this machine unless you are fully trained, instructed, and have read the instruction manual.

Never

 operate this machine if it is not working properly—stop operating and advise your supervisor immediately.

Never

 use a foot switch to operate this machine unless a point-of-operation guard or device is provided and prop-

erly maintained.

Never

 operate this machine unless two-hand trip, two-hand control or presence sensing device is installed at the 

proper safety distance. Consult your supervisor should you have any questions regarding the proper safety distance.

Never

 tamper with, rewire or bypass any control or component on this machine.
