Major Points Mortar mixer must have guarding over the
open face. Many manufacturer sell retrofit guards.
Mechanical hazards can be found at the point of operation, the power transmission apparatus or at the area of transverse motion.

Machine GuardingMachine Guarding Fixed Guards• A permanent part of the machine• Not dependent on any other part to perform the
function• Usually made of sheet metal, screen, bars or
other material which will withstand the anticipated impact
• Generally considered the preferred type of guard.
• Simple and durable

Interlocked Guard• Usually connected to a mechanism that
will cut off the power automatically• Could use electrical, mechanical or
hydraulic systems• Should rely on a manual reset system

Adjustable Guard• Very flexible to accommodate various
types of stock.• Manually adjusted

Self-Adjusting• The opening is determined by the
movement of the stock through the guard.
• Does not always provide maximum protection.
• Common complaint- reduced visibility at the point of operation.... “I can’t see what I’m doing!”
