I have a colleague who has said that OSHA considers motion slower than 10in/sec safe and that you don't have to guard it.
I have never seen this figure cited anywhere and think you have to take every situation as unique and give it a risk assessment. And for OSHA purposes at a minimum you have to start with guarding requirements for all machinery and then apply machine specific standards.
Has anyone ever heard of this 10"/sec reference and if so, could you provide a standard number or reference to it?
Thanks
