    Machine Guarding Checklist

    This template covers the pre-operation and post-operation checks. Pre-operation checks are conducted to evaluate the condition of machine guards and the protection and training of the workers. Begin with a description of the work, the names of employees and the type of guards to be inspected. Check the machine guards and determine if sufficient to prevent body parts from making contact with dangerous moving parts. Evaluate workers if they have sufficient knowledge of the machine, its operation including the guard types. Ensure that all workers are wearing appropriate protection and are following safe handling instructions when using machinery. The post-operation check is for determining if all machine guards are in good condition and that all incidents have been reported to the supervisor. Other observations, comments, and overall assessment are also noted.
