Deficiencies in safety cause negative consequences for companies, national economy and individuals and therefore safer and healthier products and work environments are required. Improvements in safety of existing workplaces increase job satisfaction, decrease absenteeism and accidents in companies and may also have positive effects on the quality of the products of companies. The responsibility for ensuring that manufacturing equipment complies with regulatory and safety requirements frequently falls to the manufacturing engineer. A significant challenge to exploring machine guarding is for the workers who are working in machines in the machinery. Studies have found that engineers, many of whom have responsibility for machine safety, are either uneducated or poorly educated on the subject of machine guarding and safety standards. Machine operators in particular face high risks, often stemming from the absence or improper use of machine safeguarding or the failure to implement lockout procedures. The machine related injuries have a potential for uprooting if the research can provide better knowledge for machine workers, designers etc. Because machines are frequent and persist source for occupational injury. This paper clearly explains about the machine guarding purposes and uses of guarding so that the accidents that occur at industries can be minimized.
