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.
1. An Act – Public Law 91 - 596, 91st Congress, S. 2193,
December 29, 1970
Duties:
Sec. 5. (a) Each employer —
(1)
shall furnish to each of his employees employ-
ment and a place of employment which are free from
recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause
death or serious physical harm to his employees;
(2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards
promulgated under this Act.
(b) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and
health standards and all rules, regulations, and orders issued
pursuant to this Act which are applicable to his own actions
and conduct.
2. OSHA’s Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart O, that an
employer (user) must comply with include:
Section 1910.211 Definitions
Se ction 1910.212 (a) General Requirements for all Machines
Section 1910.217 Mechanical Power Presses
Se
ction 1910.219 (b)(1) Mechanical Power-Trans-mission
Apparatus (Flywheel and Gear Covers)
3. OSHA’s 29 Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart J 1910.147
The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout / Tagout)
4. OSHA’s Publications
