  2. Do your safeguards prevent workers' hands, arms, and other body parts from making contact with dangerous moving parts?
  3. Do your safeguards permit safe, comfortable, and relatively easy operation of the machine?
  4. Is there a point-of-operation safeguard provided for the machine?
  5. Are safeguards provided for all hazardous moving parts of the machine including auxiliary parts?
