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).
