Any machine part, function, or process which may cause injury must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine, or accidental contact with it, can injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be either controlled or eliminated.

This standard establishes the minimum performance requirements for the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the unexpected start-up of the machines and equipment, or release of stored energy, could harm employees.

This standard requires that any machine part, function or process which may cause injury must be safeguarded. The guard shall be such that it does not offer an accident hazard in itself.

This standard gives detailed requirements for machinery use for woodworking. This includes, but is not limited to, table saws, band saws, scroll saws, lathes, jointers, shapers, planers, molders, drill presses, belt sanders, and tenoning machines.

This standard gives detailed requirements for machines which are capable of producing a bend across the width of a flat piece of metal by means of one or more rotating dies or rolls.

This standard gives requirements for mechanically-powered machines that shear, punch, form, or assemble materials by means of cutting, shaping, or combination dies which attach to the sides.

Standard requirements for hot metal working machines which strike hot metal between two dies to form the metal into a desired shape.

Standard requirements for safeguarding power transmission including all mechanical parts, such as gears, cams, shafts, pulleys, belts, clutches, brakes and rods that transmit energy and motion from a source of power to equipment or a machine.

Adopted in all 50 states, the NEC is the benchmark for safe electrical design, installation, and inspection to protect people and property from electrical hazards.

Protects personnel by reducing exposure to major electrical hazards. NFPA 70E helps companies and employees avoid workplace injuries and fatalities due to shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast.

Provides safeguards for industrial machinery to protect operators and equipment from electrical and fire hazards. Applies to electrical machines operating under or at 600 volts, and starts at the point of connection of the supply and electrical equipment of the machine.
