Hazards Within the Manufacturing Industry"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Manufacturing seems to be a term that covers several different companies within a wide range of industries.\u00a0 With such a wide variety of businesses, manufacturing facilities have a vast number of operational and safety practices they follow.\u00a0 There is a specific organization known as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that sets forth standards and compliance regulations for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpelectricalcompany.com\"><strong>manufacturing facilities<\/strong><\/a> to help avoid common safety issues found within the sector.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even though there are several different industries that make up the manufacturing sector they share a few safety concerns including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h1>Falls<\/h1>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Falls are the most common accidents that occurs within the United States.\u00a0 The frequency of falls makes this the number one hazard found within the workplace, especially within manufacturing facilities.\u00a0 Falls represent a serious risk for workers.\u00a0 They can lead to death or injury; most falls will require at least a few days off work to recover from.\u00a0 It is of the utmost importance that manufacturing facilities take special precautions to avoid falls throughout their facilities.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>Machine Guarding<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Heavy machinery is operated throughout many different types of manufacturing facilities which is why it is so important that proper guarding procedures are followed to keep workers safe.\u00a0 Improperly installed guards on machines presents a major hazard to the safety of employees.\u00a0 To <strong>keep manufacturing workers safe<\/strong> while operating large scaled equipment proper safety features are installed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Electrical<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even when individuals are not directly working with electricity, such as you do as an electrician or engineer, there are still plenty of electrical risks involved in manufacturing.\u00a0 Many manufacturing facilities use a system of <strong>bus ducts, plugs, and shut offs<\/strong> to avoid industries from electrocution.\u00a0 <strong>Electric panels<\/strong> are kept secured in manufacturing locations as well to increase safety.\u00a0 Large scaled equipment is also inspected and kept up to date with the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpelectricalcompany.com\/productreconditioning.php\"><strong>reconditioned electrical components<\/strong><\/a> on a regular basis that helps keep equipment running smoothly before a chance of failing occurs.\u00a0 Standards are in place from OSHA regarding electricity to lessen the risks involved within manufacturing facilities.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Undertrained Employees<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Employees that are not properly trained for the position they are in is a problem found not only in manufacturing.\u00a0 Facilities are only as safe as the people that are working within them.\u00a0 It is crucial that proper training is done regularly on all pieces of equipment that workers may encounter in your facility.\u00a0 When machines are replaced or even upgraded for that matter, employee re-training should be mandatory.\u00a0 Exposure to proper safety training will help keep all employees throughout the facility safe.\u00a0 Practicing procedures that are in place are just as important as training.\u00a0 Take the time to run regular tests involving the safety procedures to ensure that they are properly executed before it becomes vital.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about J &amp; P Electrical Company and their vast line of new, surplus, and\u00a0refurbished industrial electrical
