Inadequate machine guarding is one of the most common causes of serious workplace injuries in Ontario. It is also one of the most common reasons from prosecution under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

In our practice, we have found that changes to Section 7 of the Industrial Establishments Regulation have raised awareness of the need to ensure proper machine guarding; and thereby created a demand to address gaps in knowledge and practice relating to machine safeguarding.

The goal of this course in to increase understanding of proper safeguarding strategies, technologies, design practices, standards, and applications.
