Match the following types of hazardous mechanical motion with their examples:

Rotating Mechanism = Rotating shafts or gears Cutting or Shearing Mechanism = Scissors or knives In Running Nip Points = Conveyor belts or rollers Forming or Bending Mechanisms = Power press for shaping metal

Match the following safeguarding mechanisms with their purposes:

Fixed Guards = Provide a barrier to prevent access to hazardous areas Interlocked Guards = Automatically stop the machine if the guard is opened or removed Awareness Barriers = Alert individuals of potential dangers nearby Protective Shields = Offer protection from flying particles or splashing fluids

Match the machine safety responsibilities with their corresponding roles:

Management = Ensure all machinery is properly guarded Supervisors = Train employees on guard rules, ensure guards are in place and functional Employees = Do not remove guards unless machine is locked and tagged, report guard problems

Match the following lock out tag out procedures with their requirements:

Built-in Locking Devices = Equipment must have provisions for padlocks Supervisor Training = Train employees on lock out tag out procedures Constant Supervision = Watch for deviations from lock out tag out instructions Importance of Procedure = Simple tag can save lives when dealing with machines Signup and view all the answers

Match the hazardous mechanical motion with their descriptions:

Rotating Motion = Smooth, slowly rotating shafts can grip clothing Reciprocating Motion = Back and forth motion or up and down motion Transverse Motion = Movement in a straight continuous line Signup and view all the answers

Match the type of guards with their descriptions:

Fixed Guard = Provides a barrier and is a permanent part of the machine Interlocked Guard = Machine cannot cycle or be started until the guard is back in place Adjustable Guard = May be adjusted to facilitate a variety of production operations Self-adjusting Guard = Moves according to the size of the stock entering the danger area Signup and view all the answers

Match the devices used for machine safeguarding with their functions:

Presence Sensing Device = Uses systems of light Pullback Device = Primarily used on machines with stroking action Restraint Device = Uses cables or straps attached to the operator’s hands and a fixed point Safety Tripwire Cables = Device located around the perimeter of or near the danger area Signup and view all the answers

Match the type of guarding with its description:

Enclosure (cover) = Barriers between person and moving parts of a machine Fencing (railing) = Prevents somebody from trespassing into restricted areas Fixed guards = Permanent physical barriers that provide protection from mechanical hazards Interlocked guards = Automatically shuts off or disengages the hazardous motion of a machine Signup and view all the answers

Match the mechanical hazard with its location:

Point of Operation = Where work is performed on the material (e.g., cutting, shaping) Power Transmission = Components that transmit energy to the part of the machine performing work (e.g., pulleys, gears) Other Moving Parts = Parts of the machine that move while the machine is working Signup and view all the answers

Match the method of machine safeguarding with its purpose:

Fixed guards = Provide permanent physical barriers for protection from mechanical hazards Interlocked guards = Automatically prevent hazardous motion of a machine Enclosure (cover) = Act as barriers between individuals and moving parts of a machine Fencing (railing) = Prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas Signup and view all the answers
