Normal Production Operations |
|||
OSHA
recognizes that machines and equipment present many hazardous situations during normal
production operations. Normal production operations are defined as situations where
machines and equipment are used to perform their usual production function. These production hazards are covered by rules in other General Industry Standards, such as the requirements in Subpart O of 29 CFR 1910 for general machine guarding and guarding of power transmission apparatus (1910.212 and 1910.219). In certain circumstances, some hazards encountered during normal production operations may be covered by the lockout/tagout rule. Click on the term below for examples of instances when normal production operations may be covered by 29 CFR 1910.147. |
