Some machine hazards are easily identified, while others may not be as obvious. Key indicators that your machine may be unsafe: ![Machine Safety Checklist_Mockup](https://info.polytron.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Resources/Checklist/Machine%20Safety%20Checklist_Mockup.png?width=276&height=276&name=Machine%20Safety%20Checklist_Mockup.png) - History of accidents or near misses - No lockable isolators for all energy sources - Missing guarding, so hazards are accessible - No modern safety control system - No risk assessment on file for the machine - Operators or maintenance resources do not feel safe performing certain tasks   Whether you’re running legacy or brand-new machines, every aspect of your equipment, and your operating environment, should be optimized for safe operation. This can be tricky as some machine hazards are easily identified while others may not be as obvious. To help begin the essential process of assessing your machinery for potential risks and hazards, we’ve put together an easy-to-follow machine safety checklist. ### Download the Checklist 3097 Satellite Boulevard | Building 700, Suite 200 | Duluth, GA 30096 Phone: (855) 794-7659 [Terms](https://polytron.com/terms-of-use/) | [Privacy ](https://polytron.com/privacy-policy/)| [Sitemap](https://polytron.com/sitemap/)
