WAC 296-806-20010   Protect employees from unintentional machine operation.  

     You must:

     (1) Make sure foot-operated controls are located or guarded so that unintentional movement to the "ON" position is unlikely.

     (2) Make sure machines will not automatically restart when power is restored after a power failure, if restarting would create a hazard for employees.

Note:

Operating controls can be protected from unintentional movement by methods such as covers on foot treadles and collars around machinery start buttons.
