The Mechanical Machinery Hazards
Mechanical Machinery Hazards
Most machinery has the potential to cause injury to people, and machinery accidents figure prominently in official accident statistics. These injuries may range in severity from a minor cut or bruise, through various degrees of wounding and disabling mutilation, to crushing, decapitation or another fatal injury.
Mechanical Machinery Hazards
It is not solely powered machinery that is hazardous, for many manually operated machines (e.g. hand-operated guillotines and fly presses) can still cause injury if not properly safeguarded. Machinery movement basically consists of rotary, sliding or reciprocating action, or a combination of these.
A person may be injured by machinery as a result of:
Crushing Hazard
A crushing hazard through being trapped between a moving part of a machine and a fixed structure, such as a wall or any material in a machine

Cutting or Severing Hazard
A cutting or severing hazard through contact with a cutting edge, such as a band saw or rotating cutting disc
Entanglement Hazard
An entanglement hazard with the machinery which grips
loose clothing, hair or working material, such as emery paper, around
revolving exposed parts of the machinery. The smaller the diameter of
the revolving part the easier it is to get a wrap or entanglement
Friction Or Abrasion Hazard
Contact with a friction or abrasion hazard, for
example, on grinding wheels or sanding machines; a high-pressure fluid
injection (ejection hazard), for example, from a hydraulic system leak
