Machine Safety

Prevention of mechanical hazards

Fixed guards and safety distances

This guide mainly discusses the prevention of mechanical hazards. 

It describes methods for  eliminating hazards at source or for reducing them, as well as ways to protect against them by  using fixed guards.

The risk reduction or distance protection principles presented in the guide are general and are  appropriate for the majority of machines.

For some machines (for example, conveyors, metal  presses, drills, rubber machines, etc.), before applying the generic solutions proposed in this  guide, one should consult Québec regulations, standards relating to these machines (ISO, CSA, ANSI, etc.), or the technical guides published by the CSST (such as the guide Sécurité des convoyeurs à courroie), or by other organizations (ASP, INRS, IRSST, etc.), which  can provide details on how to ensure the safety of these machines.

This guide is not an exhaustive collection of solutions, but it covers some of the currently  known protection principles. 

For more information on machine safety, refer to the  bibliography at the end of the document, or consult the Web site: www.centredoc.csst.qc.ca.
