Why is Press Entrapment Training Important?

Press-related injuries can be severe, leading to amputations, fractures, or fatalities. Workplace safety regulations require employers to train workers on safe operating procedures, lockout/tagout (LOTO) protocols, and emergency response measures to prevent entrapment incidents. Press Entrapment Training helps businesses:

  • Reduce the risk of serious workplace injuries.

  • Comply with Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and other regulatory standards.

  • Lower the risk of fines, liability, and operational disruptions.

  • Improve employee confidence and awareness in working with high-risk machinery.

What Businesses Need Press Entrapment Training?

Any workplace that operates mechanical or hydraulic presses should provide Press Entrapment Safety Training, including:

  • Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities (metal fabrication, plastics, packaging, automotive, etc.).

  • Printing & Packaging Industries (printing presses, die-cutting machines, laminators).

  • Construction & Metalworking Shops (sheet metal presses, brake presses, punch presses).
