Most occupational accidents involving work equipment occur with contact with its’ dangerously moving part; for example, cuts with saw blade, mill blade, and fingers bruised by cogwheels. Contact with all dangerously moving parts of the tool must be avoided. Therefore, guardrails and guardrail blocks are used, which stops the dangerously moving part when the guardrail is removed. Any employee’s access to the hazard zone must be hindered. It is certainly prohibited to remove or dismantle guardrails or automatic obstructions. Prior to using the work equipment, the employee must be trained and instructed regarding the safe working techniques.

The employee must use the tools purposefully, abstain from unauthorized disconnection, alteration or removal of the safety devices installed on the work equipment, and to use them purposefully. The employer must be notified of each breakdown and defect that has occurred during the use of the work equipment.
