    Study Notes

    Machinery Safety

    • Machinery with moving parts, such as gears, belts, and pulleys, must be securely fenced in a factory to prevent accidents and injuries.
    • Secure fencing prevents workers from coming into contact with moving parts and reduces the risk of entanglement or crushing.

    Exemptions from Secure Fencing

    • Machinery that is not likely to cause injury, such as office equipment, is not required to be securely fenced.

    Safeguarding Machinery

    • Safeguards for securely fenced machinery must be maintained and positioned to ensure they are effective and do not create additional hazards.

    Hoists and Lifts

    • Every hoist and lift in a factory must be marked with its maximum safe working load, which must not be exceeded.
    • The maximum safe working load for a hoist or lift is the maximum weight it can safely lift without risking failure or collapse.
    • Additional requirements apply to hoists and lifts used for carrying persons, including regular inspections and certification.
    • The State Government has the authority to modify or add to the requirements for hoists and lifts.

    Lifting Machines and Lifting Tackle

    • Every lifting machine and lifting tackle in a factory must be thoroughly examined and certified by a competent person at regular intervals.

    Register of Lifting Machines and Lifting Tackle

    • A register must be kept in every factory, recording the details of each lifting machine and lifting tackle, including the date of examination and certification.

    Thorough Examination of Lifting Machines and Lifting Tackle

    • A thorough examination of a lifting machine or lifting tackle involves a detailed inspection to identify any defects or weaknesses.

    Grinding Machines

    • A notice near a grinding machine indicates the maximum safe working speed and any other safety precautions to be taken when operating the machine.

    Examination of Machinery in Motion

    • According to Section 22, an examination of any part of the machinery while it is in motion is necessary only when it is essential for the examination, and the examiner is a competent person.
    • Only a competent person is allowed to make or carry out the examination or operation of the machinery while it is in motion.

    Handling Belts and Pulleys

    • When handling a belt at a moving pulley, precautions should be taken to prevent the belt from being caught or tangled.

    Prime Movers and Transmission Machinery

    • No person is allowed to clean, lubricate, or adjust any part of a prime mover or transmission machinery while it is in motion.

    Employment of Young Persons

    • Young persons are not allowed to work on dangerous machines, except in certain circumstances and under close supervision.

    Striking Gear and Devices for Cutting Off Power

    • Every factory must have a system in place to quickly cut off power to machinery in an emergency, such as a striking gear or device.

    Traversing Parts of Self-Acting Machines

    • The traversing part of a self-acting machine must be securely fenced or guarded to prevent accidents.

    Set Screws, Bolts, or Keys on Revolving Shafts

    • Set screws, bolts, or keys on revolving shafts, spindles, wheels, or pinions in new machinery installed in a factory after the commencement of this Act must be securely fastened to prevent accidents.

    Confined Spaces

    • Before entering a confined space, a person must be authorized to do so and must take necessary precautions, such as wearing a belt securely attached to a rope.
    • The maximum voltage allowed for portable electric lights or other electric appliances inside confined spaces is 12 volts.

    Explosions in Factories

    • In factories where a manufacturing process produces dust, gas, fume, or vapor that is likely to explode on ignition, measures should be taken to prevent explosions, such as ventilation, dust suppression, and explosion-proof equipment.
    • Before opening any part of the plant or machinery that contains explosive or inflammable gas or vapor under pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, the pressure must be safely released.
    • Measures to restrict the spread and effects of an explosion in a factory include containment, ventilation, and explosion-proof equipment.
    • Wearing a belt securely attached to a rope when entering a confined space prevents the person from being trapped or falling.
