Course Overview
The Heavy Equipments and Tools Safety course offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals helps in understanding the OSHA Standard §1926.300- General Requirements. This standard deals with the safe use, maintenance and guarding of power and mechanized tools, hand tools, and construction and industrial workplaces tools. This standard emphasizes that tools and mechanical appliances provided by the employee or the employer should be maintained in a safe working condition. This course enables students to learn machine guarding of dangerous moving parts and the shaping of belts or gears, shafts, pulleys, and chains, which requires compliance with the ANSI B15.1 Safety Code for Mechanical Power-Transmission Apparatus. This course explains myriad ways of defending tools and workers from danger overlapping and becoming fragile, thereby damaging the guard from shackles, modern tools, and workers that electronically guard and pairs of tripping tools that defend yard and field entrances. The course describes point-of-operation control and safety where processed materials must be guarded to ensure that no operator's body part may enter a point of danger. The students learn special hand tools for material handling, anchoring fixed machinery, and guarding standards.
After finishing the course, participants will be able to identify, evaluate, and manage risks related to heavy machinery and power tools, all while following OSHA safety standards. This will help strengthen the safety, dependability, and operational integrity of all mechanical and industrial functions.
