Rule 875-62.15 - Machinery and machine guarding

(1)General requirements. One or more methods of machine guarding shall be provided to protect the public from injury. An example of double guarding is public barriers and gear shielding. Guards shall be fixed to the machine where possible and secured elsewhere if for any reason attachment to the machine is not possible. The guard or barrier shall be such that it does not offer an accident hazard in itself. Barriers shall be securely staked or sandbagged to prevent movement or tipover by the public falling, pressing or stumbling against them. The barriers shall be located to keep the public at least 6 feet away from the ride. Ride entrances shall have a passenger waiting line retaining chain, bar, gate or device. All machinery designed for a fixed location shall be securely anchored to prevent walking or moving. All rides containing or having a mounting or moimtings that would catch, wind up or entangle long hair shall have attached adequate guards.

(2)Mechanical power transmission. All power transmission devices and associated moving parts shall be shielded, enclosed or barricaded to protect the public in accordance with 29 CFR, Chapter XVII, Part 1910 subpart O-Machinery and Machine Guarding, Paragraph 1910.219-Mechanical Power Transmission Apparatus as published at 39 Federal Register 23728 (Jime 27, 1974).
