Positional guarding is a type of machine guarding that involves the use of sensors or devices to detect the position of a person in relation to a hazardous machine. When the sensors detect that a person is in a dangerous area, the machine is automatically stopped or prevented from operating to ensure the safety of the individual. This type of guarding is particularly useful in situations where physical barriers may not be practical or effective. Positional guarding helps prevent accidents and injuries by ensuring that machines are only operational when it is safe for individuals to be in their vicinity.
