Farm Safety Standard Set For Machinery
A new standard requiring guarding of power take-off drives and nip-point components on farm equipment was recorded in the March 9 Federal Register. OSHA mandates guarding on all farm field and farmstead gear within 90 days, with post June 7 1976 manufactured gear receiving nip-point guards. Operators must be trained, components shielded, rotation warnings added, and power shutoff protected. The rule covers about 4.3 million farms and aims to reduce injuries and fatalities while boosting productivity.
