(1) A complete cover to enclose all moving parts or an enclosure or guard for each individual part to remove separate hazards.
(2) A limit switch to shut off the machine when the rear cover is open.
(3) A hinged guard on the back that cannot be completely removed.
(4) You must make sure that, if a catch or brace is provided for holding the cover open, make sure it will not release due to vibrations or minor bumping, causing the cover to drop on an employee.
