My library includes the codes and standards
such as ANSI, OSHA, and ISO that apply to woodworking equipment. Also included is
information relating to historical developments in machine guarding. My involvement in
machinery accident prevention has included OSHA citation contests relating to saw
guarding. I have taught the "Machine Guarding and Lock-out
Tag-out" class for the National Safety Council (L.A.Chapter).
