Machine Guarding Controlling Safety Hazards 1980 OSHA

Working on unguarded or inadequately guarded machines is common in many workplaces. Consequently, workers who operate and maintain machinery suffer approximately 18,000 amputations, lacerations, crushing injuries, abrasions, and over 800 deaths per year. Amputation is one of the most severe and crippling types of injuries in the occupational workplace, and often results in permanent disability. Check out OSHA's e-tool on recognizing and controlling common amputation hazards associated with the operation and use of certain types of machines, at http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/machineguarding/index.html . This clip is from the 1980 film, OSHA. That entire film is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1N48Z5HerA .
