Machinery safety remains a critical issue with many serious harm injuries each year occurring due to inadequate guarding of machines.
All machinery needs to be adequately guarded at all times and machinery and guarding must be maintained in a safe working condition.
The below WorkSafe guarding guide provides information and guidance on machinery guarding.
While this guidance has not been updated to reflect current work health and safety legislation (the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and regulations), it still contains relevant information and practices to keep workers and others healthy and safe.
