particularly important if there are a number of speakers and some may not be heard in far comers of the room If the speaker must move around, a lavaliere (chest-type), wireless, or lapel micro phone is necessary (Be sure the lavaliere microphone does not rub against a be clip as this makes a lot of noise ) If the speaker can remain m one place, a pedestal or lectern microphone is satisfactory If audience participation is desired from a large group, floor microphones placed in the aisles or roving microphones earned by assistants will enable members of the audi ence to be heard throughout the room.

operating conditions Since fencing and loca tion methods can be used only when a ma chine can be isolated, these methods will have limited use on most production setups Most production machines will require some kind of enclosure of the hazard points to comply with the OSHA regulations Types of guards There are several types of enclosures that are suitable for guarding hazard points de pending on how and where they are used The fixed guard is considered preferable to all other types and should be used m every case unless it has been definitely determined that this type is not at all practicable The fixed guard at all times prevents access to the dangerous parts of the machine Fixed guards may be adjustable to accom modate different sets of tools or various kinds of work Once adjusted, they should remain "fixed," and there should be no movement nor detachment of them Some fixed guards are installed at a distance from the danger point in association with re mote feeding arrangements which make it un necessary for the operator to approach the danger point A table of the safe distance of a guard fiom the danger point and the permissible size of openings in a fixed guard is given m the Pointof-Operation Guards section of this chapter Examples of fixed guards are found on power presses, sheet leveling or flattening machmes, milling machines, gear trains, drill ing machines, and guillotine cutters Interlocking guards.
