Why are machines without exposed hazards covered under the MD?
Writer：LANDER TESTING View：7572 Addtime：2007-8-29
The scope of the MD applies to all units that have
·An assembly of linked parts or components.
·At least one movable part.
·A function such as processing, treating, moving, or packaging a material.
A machine that has moving parts that are not exposed does fall under the MD. A possible solution to the hazard may be a guard; however, the machine is still covered by the MD. This hazard and solution must be documented in the Hazard Analysis file.
