§ 39.412. Care about machines.
(a) Care shall be exercised to prevent oil cans, tools, dusters, or wiping cloths from catching in moving parts of machinery. In passing any switchboard or machine in operation, employes shall not touch it unnecessarily nor allow metal tools or other metal objects to touch the apparatus or connections. Employes shall not use iron or tin oil cans near field magnets, but they shall use only dusters and wipers with insulating handles on or about exposed live parts.
(b) Any employe about to work on normally moving parts of electrical equipment during periods of rest shall protect himself against their accidental starting by placing ‘‘men at work’’ signs on the starting devices, and locking or blocking these where practicable.
