Four primary types of safety guard fabrication projects
Fixed safety guards – These common safety guard projects are permanently attached to equipment. Larger fixed safety guards cover power transmission units, while smaller fixed guards provide protection on tools such as band saws.

Adjustable safety guards – As the name implies, adjustable safety guards provide an option for manual adjustment based on the particular tool use. These are common in instances where material sizes vary and the unused portion of a blade requires protection.

Self-adjusting safety guards – Typically found on saws, self-adjusting guards push away from the point of operation as material is fed into a machine. These guards allow material into the cutting zone while covering the remainder of the blade.

Interlocked safety guards – These guards allow workers to remove or open them to gain access to a hazardous zone. They typically are designed to shut down the machine upon opening, which further decreases the hazard.
