Every injection molding machine shall be
guarded:
(a) By a sliding gate guard
so designed and installed that it interposes a barrier between the dies and the
operator before the dies can close and
shall be so arranged that if the gate
can be opened during the die closing cycle the die motion will be immediately
stopped by the opening of the gate.
The sliding gate guard shall extend over the top and to
each side of the dies to prevent the operator from placing his/her hands
between the dies while they are closing. The danger zone on the side of the
machine opposite the operator's working position shall also be guarded,
or
(b) By two-handed
constant pressure devices or controls which require the simultaneous use of
both the operator's hands during the entire die closing cycle.
