Answer:

Employers must comply with OSHA's regulations to safeguard workers from caught-in or -between dangers, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Protect power tools and other equipment with moving parts with guards.

• Support, secure, or otherwise make safe any equipment that has pieces that workers could become entangled in.

· Take precautions to avoid workers being crushed by tipped-over heavy machinery.

• Take precautions to avoid pinning workers between equipment and a solid object.

• Provide workers with protection when trenching and excavating.

• Provide ways to prevent constructions, such as scaffolds, from collapsing.
