TRAINING
For over 50 years, we have been educating organizations, throughout the world on health and safety topics and machine safeguarding.
Machine Safeguarding Seminar Overview
According to existing safety regulations and standards, when a machine creates a hazard to operators and other employees in the machine area, it must be safeguarded. Rockford Systems, LLC offers a machine safeguarding seminar to teach people in positions of responsibility how to safeguard the point of operation and other machine hazards to meet these safety standards.
This 2-day seminar explains how to interpret the performance language of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations, ANSI (American National Standards Institute) B11 series safety standards, and NFPA 79. Specific machine safeguarding situations are also discussed. Another section of the machine safeguarding seminar provides basic safeguarding guidelines for other metalworking machines utilizing the ANSI B11 series safety standards. Seminars combine classroom discussions with demonstrations of machines under power. Hands-on experience with these machines and visual aids, including slides and videos, are also used. These teaching methods enable the participants to interpret the OSHA regulations and ANSI and NFPA 79 standards related to their specific machine applications and production requirements.
This course is taught by Mr. Matthew Clutter, Director of Training, an industrial safeguarding expert with over 17 years of machine safeguarding experience. Through his teaching methods, participants will learn to interpret the OSHA regulation, ANSI B11 series standards, and NFPA 79 standards related to specific machine applications and production requirements. Mr. Clutter is also a speaker at various seminars sponsored by industrial associations.
