So, your inspector is going to try to evaluate the risk, and probably land on the side of Safety. If it's exposed, put a shield on it so you can't get a finger stuck between the chain and sprocket, at least not without really trying to. |
I believe a similar incident happened at the Pittsburgh regional a number of years ago. When in Doubt, Guard It.
