Effective machine guarding helps prevent contact with mechanical hazards. The Guard Safety Scale helps measure guard opening sizes and distances from hazards, following CSA and ANSI guidelines to help ensure guards provide adequate protection.
WCB Saskatchewan is offering free Guard Safety Scales to help employers assess existing machine guards.
