[CAP. 59
L 5
7. (1) Every abrasive wheel shall be properly mounted.
(2) An abrasive wheel shall not be mounted except by a person
(a) has been appointed in writing for that purpose by the
proprietor of an industrial undertaking; and
(b) is, by reason of training and practical experience, competent to perform that operation.
8. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), a guard shall be provided and kept in position at every abrasive wheel in motion.
(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to an abrasive wheel where, by reason of the work being done, or of the work which is ordinarily done (or, in the case of a new wheel, is intended ordinarily to be done), or the nature of the wheel, the use of a guard is impracticable.
9. Every guard provided in pursuance of these regulations shall-
(a) so far as is reasonably practicable, be of such design and construction as to contain every part of the abrasive wheel in the event of fracture of the abrasive wheel or any part thereof occurring while the abrasive wheel is in motion;
(b) be properly maintained and so secured as to prevent its
displacement in the event of fracture; and
(c) enclose the whole of the abrasive wheel except such part as is necessarily exposed for the purpose of work being done at that abrasive wheel or, where a guard which is not adjustable is used, for the purpose of the work which is ordinarily done thereat (or, in the case of a new abrasive wheel, is intended ordinarily to be done thereat).
10. (1) Where the work which is ordinarily done (or, in the case of a new abrasive wheel, is intended ordinarily to be done) at any abrasive wheel requires that the exposed area of the wheel shall exceed 180 degrees measured at the centre of the wheel then, where practicable, the wheel shall be tapered from its centre towards its periphery by at least 6 per cent on each side and shall be mounted between suitable protection flanges.
(2) Protection flanges between which any abrasive wheel is mounted in accordance with paragraph (1) shall be of substantial construction and properly maintained and shall have the same degree of taper as the wheel and shall--
(a) in the case of a wheel of 300 millimetres or less in diameter, be of a diameter equal to at least half the diameter of the wheel;
[Subsidiary] Mounting.
Provision of guards.
Construction, maintenance, etc., of guards.
