Regulations 29 CFR 1910.217(h)
regulates use of PSDs in mechanical power-press safety systems. A
PSD (e.g., a photoelectric field or curtain) automatically stops
the stroke of a mechanical power press when the device detects an
operator entering a danger zone near the press. The PSD initiation
standard contains a number of information collection requirements,
including: certifying brakemonitor adjustments, alternatives to
photoelectric PSDs, safety system design and installation, and
worker training; annual recertification of safety systems;
establishing and maintaining the original certification and
validation records, as well as the most recent recertification and
revalidation records; affixing labels to test rods and to certified
and recertified presses; and notifying an OSHA-recognized
third-party validation organization when a safety system component
fails, the employer modifies the safety system, or a
point-of-operation injury occurs.
