Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / EHS Policy | | English term or phrase: single point of operation guard in place | Employees do not tamper with or disable machine/ equipment guarding.The machines are not operated if the point of operation does not have at least a single point of operation guard in place.
is there a way to be sure what it is meant here ? I suppose that during operation a minimum safety level should be kept?? |

| | Unless at least a single point-of-operation guard is in place | Explanation:
I'm not an engineer but I have some gardening equipment that has point-of-operation guards!
Basically there is a guard or barrier that goes between the equipment and the person operating it, at the point of operation (i.e. between their hand and a great big cutting blade, etc.). This is saying they are not allowed to operate a machine unless at least one guard is in place to protect them - so if the guard isn't there, they must not use the machine.

Yes, indeed. The hyphens probably make it clearer... |
