About

Machine guarding refers to safety measures and protective devices designed to protect workers from hazards posed by moving machinery and equipment in the workplace. The purpose of machine guarding is to prevent contact with dangerous moving parts, such as gears, belts, pulleys, blades, and other mechanical components, which could cause serious injuries or even fatalities if workers come into contact with them. Our course includes topics such as equipment, operations, hazards, case studies, and more.

Beyond the federal OSHA regulation training, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) requires extra training in accordance with federal OSHA requirements. Completing this training course ensures that you meet the requirements for workplace safety specific to your job. A printable certificate of completion will be given to participants upon successfully finishing the program.
