Dear Friends,
In our factory, we do carry out a grinding operation with the help of Portable Hand Grinders. We all know that, “We should never use the Grinder without the guard”.
However, some times our operators remove the guards saying that while grinding the jobs which are having notches this guard prevents the approach of Grinder.
Till date this practice has not caused any injury.
Now, as a Safety Professional, I always have a concern about this unsafe practice.
We have given lot of thoughts on this. However, we could not arrive at a practical solution on this.
I urge upon all of you to help in this regard.
Regards,
Shashikant.
