clothing from making contact with dangerous moving parts or pinch points at the point

parts.
 Create no new hazards - If a guard creates a hazard of its own, such as shear point, a
jagged edge, or an unfinished surface which can cause a laceration, then employees
must not use the piece of machinery or equipment.
 If a lock or tag is in place on a piece of machinery or equipment, it may not be removed
and the machinery or equipment may not be used.
 If a guard is defective or damaged or in any way does not meet the requirements of
these procedures, employees may not use the machine and must immediately notify
their supervisor.
