Machine Guarding Consultants
Minnesota OSHA has established standards for machine guarding. The state of Minnesota has made schools a particular priority for safety inspection. Both employees and students are at risk from unguarded parts of machinery, including belts, blades, fly-wheel shafts, pulleys, ropes, chain drives, gears and other machines.
