Summit Training Source has released an important new Video and DVD training program on Machine Guard Awareness. According to OSHA, workers who operate and maintain machinery suffer approximately 18,000 amputations, lacerations, crushing injuries, and abrasions yearly. These workers also suffer over 800 deaths per year, making Summit’s Machine Guard Awareness program essential for any employee working with machines. Studies from OSHA also show that 30 percent of all workplace injuries, including crushed fingers or hands, amputations, burns, and blindness are the result of contact with a piece of equipment. These injuries cost companies millions of dollars each year in lost productivity and workers compensation costs. It is in everyone’s best interest to be aware of the function and importance of machine guards. Summit’s Machine Guard Awareness program keeps these costly and debilitating injuries from occurring by educating employees on the hazards associated with machines, the purpose and function of machine guards, and best safety practices for operating equipment requiring machine guards.
Summit’s engaging and attention grabbing training program teaches workers the hazards of unguarded machine parts and that every moving machine part needs to be safeguarded.
