Safeguard—A barrier guard, device, or safety procedure designed for the protection of personnel. Safety—Human actions to control, reduce, or prevent accidental loss. 

Safeguards include guards, devices, distance, or location. Safeguards for machines fall into two major groups mechanical power transmission safeguards, and point-of-operation safeguards. 

Guards and guard devices may not provide enough protection for all the operations and activities involved in the use, maintenance, cleaning and repair of machines and tools. Several safeguarding procedures will help prevent accidents from occurring. Remember, procedures do not remove hazards. 

Inspections Machines should have regularly scheduled inspections to detect potential problems early. Inspections should include regular checks and tests of guards and guard devices. Work orders should correct hazardous conditions or inadequate safeguards before returning a machine to use.
