33
drained, blocked without employee exposure?
34 All energy control devices, switches, interlocks, sensors, E-stops, etc. have been functionally tested while machinery was in operation?

Guarding
35 Employees are completely protected from exposure to any & all kinetic energy / moving parts (i.e., can’t reach into, around, over, or under)?
Employees are completely protected from other energy sources (electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, thermal, chemical, radiation source, laser
36
source)?
37 Guarding is properly installed (complete, fixed, interlocks connected, sensing devices calibrated, e-stops tested, etc.)?
Routine adjustments, clearing, un-jamming conducted with machinery stopped and with operator’s exclusive control when moving parts are
38
exposed?
39 Employees are protected from exposed moving parts exposed during routine adjustments, clearing, un-jamming, tool, etc.?
40 Controls are located such that routine adjustments, clearing, un-jamming can be conducted without allowing for two-handed jogging?

Ergonomics
41 Is access to areas of operation and areas of routine maintenance made safe through the use of ramps, platforms, handholds, footsteps, etc.?
42 Does layout prevent workers from awkward positions/postures (leaning, reaching, twisting) during operating, adjusting, and maintenance?
43 Does layout prevent operators from applying excessive force or lifting during operating, adjusting, changeovers, and maintenance?
44 Does layout provide for appropriate working heights at areas of operator interface?
45 Has layout provided for safe and effective operator comfort (seat, floor pad, etc.)?
46 Are materials feeds and processing areas automated, preventing repetitive operator tasks?
47 Can change parts be safely removed and installed (sized or split parts to reduce weight, mechanical lift device, handholds, footsteps, etc.)?
