OSHA Machine Guarding Safety Training & Certification
29 CFR 1910.212
All machines consist of three fundamental areas; the point of operation, the power transmission device, and the operating controls. Even though all machines have these basic components, their safeguarding needs widely differ due to varying physical characteristics and operator involvement.
This online safety training course addresses the general requirements for machinery set forth by OSHA, the motions and actions that contribute to different machine hazards, and additional considerations that entail overall machine and operator safety.

OSHA has not specified any time frame for required retraining or recertification for Machinery and Machine Guarding General Requirements for all machines. Since there is no OSHA standard dealing with this specific hazard the OSH Act general duty clause, section 5(a)(1), 29 U.S.C. 654(b)(1) defines the standard which provides that:
(a) Each employer -
(1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.
A recognized hazard is a danger recognized by the employer's industry or industry in general, by the employer, or by common sense. The general duty clause does not apply if there is an OSHA standard dealing with the hazard, unless the employer knows that the standard does not adequately address the hazard.
Therefore it is our recommendation that workers be retrained at least every three years.
