What is the difference between performing a machine guarding assessment and a machine safety risk assessment?

A machine guarding assessment is a review of the hazards that exist on your machines followed up by solutions to mitigate those hazards found in mechanical and energy control. This is typically performed by a turnkey safety solutions provider who have an understanding of the OSHA regulations, ANSI standards, and have the ability to use those to create the best practice solutions.

A machine safety risk assessment is a full safety analysis by TUV certified engineered as a paid service, categorizing risk levels, helping to prioritize an order of execution. This process typically does not offer solutions to mitigate any of the hazards.
