The document outlines regulations for fencing machinery and ensuring safety based on the Factories and Machinery Act 1967. It states that every dangerous part of machines must be securely fenced, with exceptions possible if approved by the Chief Inspector. It provides requirements for fence construction and maintenance, including that no openings allow contact with moving parts. Specific machinery such as shafts, gears, flywheels and other parts must be enclosed or guarded, and starting/stopping devices and electrical systems must prevent hazards. Regulations address prime movers, transmission machinery, abrasive equipment and other driven machinery.
