1. Introduction
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. Accidents usually result from a combination of factors that includes both hazardous machine condition and careless human actions. The intent of machine safeguarding is to minimize the risk of accidents from machineoperator contact.
efforts based on the most predictable injury, the probability of occurrence and available resources.

5.5 Devices
Devices may perform one of several function:
Stop a machine if a body part is in danger Restrain or withdraw a hand if it is in danger
Detect the presence of a person, or part of a person, in a defined area and prevents the dangerous parts of machinery moving while they are in that area .
can be stopped before the worker can reach the danger area .
power press .
descending its full predetermined distance, the control circuit does not actuate the machine cycle.
The electro-mechanical sensing device is sometimes called a Touch O-Matic.
The machine will not operate until the probe comes in contact with the material. The finger prevents this by not allowing the probe to come all the way down and contact the material .
This technique is widely used in bottling industries and wrist watches belts hole making .

5.9 Gates
A gate is a moveable barrier which protects the operator at the point of operation before the machine cycle can be started .
If the gate is not permitted to descend to the fully closed position, the press will not function

Conclusion
This technical seminar helps to employers, employees, machine manufacturers, machine guard designers and fabricators, and all others with an interest in protecting workers against the hazards of moving machine parts . Even the most elaborate safeguarding system
cannot offer effective protection unless the worker knows how to use it and why. Specific training is a crucial part of any effort to provide safeguarding against machine-related hazards. One must not forget that Education is the beginning of safety .
