Machine guarding is an essential safety measure in industrial settings where workers are exposed to hazardous machinery. Proper machine guarding can prevent workplace injuries, reduce the risk of accidents, and protect workers from harm. One critical aspect of machine guarding is the use of locks to ensure that the machine remains in a safe state.
