Rule 4241. (1) The portion of a treadle at the rear of a hammer shall be guarded so that scrap or other material cannot collect below this portion of the treadle and prevent it from returning to normal position.

(2)   A treadle shall be blocked or otherwise secured during the   time an employee is exposed under the ram or between the dies.

(3)   A scale guard constructed of not less than 20 gauge sheet steel or equivalent material shall be provided at the back of a hammer, so arranged as to stop flying objects and anchored or secured so that it cannot tip or fall.

(4)   A foot operated device, such as a treadle, pedal, bar, valve, or switch, shall be substantially and effectively protected from   unintended operation.
