Moving machine parts are dangerous and merciless. Keep your body parts well clear of them. If you need to tamper with the machinery, wait until the machine is completely stopped before touching any parts that move. Never wear loose or hanging clothes that could easily get caught up in moving parts of a machine. Ties, earrings, loose sleeves and bracelets are all potential dangers when working with machinery.
Don't Get Caught in Moving Parts
Takeaway:
Keep your fingers away from moving parts, don't wear loose fitting clothing around machinery and turn off equipment before cleaning or adjusting it.
