Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to install a barrier guard at the ends of the press and install a chain across the back opening to prohibit employee entry into the space as outlined in American National Standard ANSI B11.3!, Safety Requirements for Construction, care and Use of Prower Press Brakes.
