Moving parts, in-running nips and flying chips can injure people who work at or near machines. This page cites the main US OSHA machine-guarding rule and links a free course and the $1 toolbox-talk library on this site.
In the United States, general machine-guarding requirements are set out in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.212 (General requirements for all machines). That standard applies in its US scope. It is not Moroccan law, and this page does not replace the machinery regulations or the manufacturer’s instructions that apply where you work.
The free Machine Guarding Safety course on this site covers why guards are needed and how they are meant to be used. It is independent training, not an official OSHA or machinery-directive qualification.

52 ready-to-run 5-minute safety talks in English, French and Arabic, with quizzes and sign-in sheets. $1 per company, as listed on the offers page.
