    Mechanical safety is important to protect workers from injuries from moving machinery parts such as cuts, bruises and fractures. Crushing hazards from heavy machinery can result in serious injuries or death, so workers should stay clear when machinery is operating. Shear hazards from moving machine parts can cut or slice skin and flesh, so proper safety equipment and procedures must be used. Cutting hazards can occur from contact with sharp or rotating machine parts, so guards and secure bits are necessary. Friction or abrasion hazards exist on fast-moving machine surfaces and can cause serious injuries. Personal protective equipment like gloves, safety glasses and steel-toed boots are crucial to protect workers from health risks on construction sites.

    Importance of safety when handling mechanical systems:

    Mechanical safety is important because it protects


    workers from injuries that can occur when they are
    exposed to moving parts of machinery and
    equipment. Injuries that can occur include cuts,
    bruises, and fractures. People can prevent these
    injuries by taking steps to protect workers from
    exposure to these hazards.

    Mechanical Machinery Hazards & Control Measures

    Crushing Hazards

    On construction sites, crushing hazards are often caused by excavators and


    other heavy machinery. If an employee is struck by a piece of machinery, it can
    result in serious injuries or even death. To prevent crushing hazards, employees
    should always be aware of their surroundings and stay clear of areas where
    heavy machinery is operating.

    Shear Hazards

    Shear hazards are caused by moving parts that can cut or


    slice through skin and flesh. Shear hazards can occur when
    workers are using hand-operated tools, such as knives, or
    when they are operating machinery with moving parts, such
    as saws. To prevent shear hazards, employees should
    always use the proper safety equipment and procedures
    when working with hand-operated tools or machinery.
    Cutting/Severing Hazards
    There are many types of cutting hazards, but the three most
    common are contact with a moving sharp-edged part,
    contact with a rotating part, and contact with a moving part.
    To avoid these hazards, always make sure that the blades
    on your machines are properly guarded and that the chucks
    and bits on your drill presses and lathes are properly
    secured. If you are using a power saw or drill, make sure
    that the blade or bit is not worn or damaged.

    Friction Or Abrasion Hazards


    Friction and abrasion hazards are often found in mechanical machinery. When
    contact is made with a fastmoving surface that
    may be smooth (e.g. touching a spin dryer) or
    rough (e.g. touching a belt sander), there is a
    potential for serious injury.
    PPE

    The construction industry has extremely high numbers of accidents


    reported each year, a lot of these could be minimised with the use of
    correct PPE. Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to all
    equipment (e.g. devices, appliances and associated accessories) that is
    worn by an individual, in order to provide protection against one or
    more health or safety risks, whilst at work. it is important that these
    areas of the body are protected. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
    provides protection from health risks, which can enter the body, via
    these routes of exposure the skin, the respiratory system, such as the
    lungs, The eyes
