Course Details
The Machine Guarding Standard course is a self-paced online program that helps general industry workers identify machine hazards and apply effective safeguarding methods to prevent workplace injuries. Built around OSHA's machine guarding standards in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart O and the general requirements of 1910.212, the training explains why any machine part, function, or process that could cause injury must be safeguarded. Learners examine the point-of-operation hazards, rotating parts, in-running nip points, flying chips, and sparks that create the mechanical hazards responsible for amputations, lacerations, and crushing injuries. The course compares the primary methods of machine guarding and the machine guards and safeguarding devices that address them, from fixed physical barriers to presence-sensing safety devices. It also covers hazard recognition, guarding inspections, employer responsibilities, and the close relationship between machine guarding and lockout/tagout procedures during servicing and maintenance. Every lesson reinforces safe work practices that protect operators while maintaining operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Delivered entirely online, the course lets machine operators, maintenance personnel, supervisors, and safety professionals complete each module at their own pace within the course access period. It carries one contact hour of instruction and awards 0.1 IACET CEU to learners who finish every module and pass the final assessment with a score of at least 80%. Successful participants earn a certificate of completion that documents their machine guarding training for recordkeeping — a certificate of completion, not an OSHA license. Enroll today to strengthen your team's hazard recognition skills and keep your workplace aligned with OSHA machine guarding requirements.

CBT Machine Guarding Standard
OSHA Machine Guarding Standard training teaches workers to recognize hazards from moving machinery parts, understand OSHA's regulations for preventing injuries, and identify different types of guards and safety devices. Training covers general guarding requirements, the different hazards associated with various machinery processes and mechanical motions, the importance of safeguarding the "point of operation," and the control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout). The goal is to enable workers to protect themselves from injuries like amputations, crushing, burns, or blindness caused by operating unguarded or improperly guarded machinery.
