§ 29.113. Applicability.
This subchapter applies to the following:
(1) All moving parts of equipment used in the mechanical transmission of power, including prime movers, intermediate equipment, and driven machines, excluding point of operation.
(2) Connecting rods, cranks, flywheels, shafting, spindles, pulleys, belts, link belts, chains, ropes and rope drives, gears, sprockets, friction drives, cams, couplings, clutches, counterweights, revolving or reciprocating parts, up to but not including point of operation; also all bolts, keys, set screws, oil cups or similar projections.
(3) The mere technical fulfillment of the requirements of this subchapter does not assure approval of a guard if examination shows lack of practicability or of durability.
(4) The Department may require guards not required by this subchapter if, in it’s opinion, a sufficient hazard exists to warrant this action.
(5) The guarding of all mechanical power transmission apparatus shall conform with the requirements of this subchapter, except that guards installed and accepted by the Department prior to February 16, 1929, need not be replaced unless the hazard so warrants.
