OHSA Compliance Inspection Program
Equipment Inspection | Semi-Annual Preventive Maintenance | OSHA Compliance Inspection

Minster's press safety audit consists of a two-page comprehensive OSHA 1910.217 checklist. The checklist includes:

• Functional and Operational Checks
• Critical Component Verifications
• Stop Time Checks (Using a Portable Stop Time Device)
• Safety Distance Verifications
• Review of Applied Safeguarding Means
• Verification of Die Setting and Lockout/Tagout Devices and Procedures

It takes about one hour per press to complete this audit. After the audit is completed an Excel spreadsheet is generated along with a summary letter. Digital photos taken during the audit are included in the final report. The photos are helpful to identify possible problem areas. This is done at $150/hour plus travel time and cost. The reports are included in this rate. As an alternative, for $90/hour (our normal service rate) plus travel time, you can receive a copy of the completed checklist but without a final report (Excel file, summary letter, and digital photos). Travel time is $75/hour.

It does not include mechanical clearance checks (parallelism, gib total and individual bearing clearances and clutch/brake clearances). To have that performed would require a service call by one of our service personnel.
