Match the following types of hazardous mechanical motion with their descriptions:
Rotating Motion = Smooth, slowly rotating shafts can grip clothing and force an arm or hand into a dangerous position Reciprocating Motion = Back and forth or up and down motion where a worker can be struck by or caught between moving and stationary parts Transverse Motion = Movement in a straight continuous line where a worker can be struck by or caught in pitch or shear points Fixed Guards = Provides a permanent barrier as a part of the machine
Match the following methods of machine safeguarding with their descriptions:
Interlocked Guards = Machine cannot cycle or start until the guard is back in place Adjustable Guards = Can be adjusted to facilitate different production operations Self-adjusting Guards = Moves according to the size of the stock entering the danger area Presence Sensing Devices = Uses systems of light for safety measures
Match the following devices used for machine safeguarding with their descriptions:
Pullback Devices = Primarily used on machines with stroking action Restraint Devices = Use cables or straps attached to the operator's hands and a fixed point Safety Tripwire Cables = Located around the perimeter of or near the danger area for safety purposes Two-Hand Control Devices = Require constant, concurrent pressure to activate the machine
Match the following feeding and ejection methods with their descriptions:
Automatic and/or semi-automatic feed and ejection = Gates for feeding and ejection methods =
Match the type of safeguard with its description:
Enclosure (cover) = Barriers between person and moving parts of a machine Fencing (railing) = Prevents trespassing into restricted areas Interlocked guards = Only allow machine operation when the guard is in place Fixed guards = Permanently attached physical barriers
Match the mechanical hazard with its description:
Point of Operation = Where work is performed on the material like cutting or shaping Power Transmission = Components that transmit energy to the working part of the machine Other Moving Parts = Parts of the machine that move during operation
Match the type of safeguard with its primary benefit according to a supervisor:
Enclosure (cover) = Reduces possibility of injury Fencing (railing) = Improves production by preventing trespassing Interlocked guards = Enhances safety by ensuring guard presence during operation Fixed guards = Provides permanent physical protection to prevent accidents
Match the method of machine safeguarding with its priority level:
Enclosure (cover) = First priority in machine guarding Fencing (railing) = Prevents unauthorized access to restricted areas Interlocked guards = Ensures operation only when guard is correctly positioned Fixed guards = Permanently attached for continuous protection
Match the description with the appropriate type of guard used for accident prevention:
Barriers between person and moving parts of a machine = Enclosure (cover) Prevents trespassing into restricted areas = Fencing (railing) Only allow machine operation when the guard is in place = Interlocked guards Permanently attached physical barriers = Fixed guards
Match the component of mechanical system with its role in hazardous mechanical motion:
Flywheels, Pulleys, Belts, Couplings, Gears = Power Transmission components Parts of the machine that move during operation = Other Moving Parts
Match the following safeguarding mechanisms with their descriptions:
Rotating Mechanism = Continuous circular motion that poses a hazard Cutting or Shearing Mechanism = Used to cut materials and can cause severe injuries if not properly guarded In Running Nip Points = Area where objects can get caught and pulled into the equipment Forming or Bending Mechanisms (Power Press) = Processes that involve shaping materials with high force
Match the following machine safety responsibilities with their roles:
Management = Ensuring all machinery is properly guarded Supervisors = Training employees on specific guard rules and ensuring guards remain in place Employees = Reporting machine guard problems and not operating equipment without guards in place Miscellaneous Aids = Providing awareness barriers and protective shields
Match the following hazardous mechanical motions with their characteristics:
Interlocked Guards = Automatically shuts off or disengages the hazardous motion when the guard is opened or removed Fixed Guards = Permanently attached to the machine and provides a barrier to protect from hazards Lock out Tag Out Procedures = Requires locking devices and employee training to prevent accidental machine start-up Protective Shields = Offers protection from flying particles, cutting oils, or coolants
