People can be struck by moving parts within machinery, or by material ejected from it, get caught between parts moving past one another or other fixed object, resulting in crush injuries, cuts, and parts of the body can be drawn in or trapped.
Even when a machine is powered down, sharp edges can cause cuts and rough surface parts can cause friction or abrasion.
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) establish the duties of employers and workers to maintain health and safety when handling or using work equipment, including machinery.
