Re: Exposed gears/chain

I'm all for guards, build them all the time. But proper hand saftey must still be taught and enforced at all times.

Probably 80% of belt and chain injuries I've seen in industry have been during service or troubleshooting with the guards removed.

Safety is a three part process, proper personal training, physical safeties/PPE and proper leadership.
