Course overview
Can you imagine life without machines? You’d have to make things by hand and it would be slow. Mass production machinery revolutionized how things were made, and how long it took to make them. But, while machines streamlined industry, they also brought with them a lot of risks, which saw many workers seriously injured, or worse.
Thankfully, a lot has changed since the industrial revolution. Modern workplaces are much more risk-aware and protect machine operators from hazards by using machine guarding. To help counteract the dangers of machinery in workplaces, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) created regulations and guidelines that must be followed.
