guard

English to German Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering oil rig
Hallo, ich hänge bei meiner Übersetzung eines Handbuchs für einen Ölbohrturm an folgendem Satz:

"All personnel should be protected from exposed mechanical dangers such as guards fabricated from expanded metal and other similar hazards."

"Guard" ist doch in meinem Verständnis eine Schutzeinrichtung, wieso sollen Personen davor geschützt werden?
Proposed translations (German)
4 +2 Schutzeinrichtung
3 Schutzblech

But if the guard is made of expanded steel, I\'d hate to bang my head on it, or get my big toe stuck in it ... you know how it is with liability in the US. Wear your hardhat and steel-toed shoes.
