Moving machine parts can potentially cause severe workplace injuries, such as crushed fingers or hands, amputations, burns, or blindness. In addition, amputations, lacerations, and abrasions are costly and potentially increase workers' compensation premiums. (Amputation is one of the most severe and crippling types of injuries in the occupational workplace, often resulting in permanent disability.) Due to this fact, OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) has established a set of standards around machine guarding. The purpose of machine guarding is to protect the machine operator and other employees in the work area from hazards created during the machine's regular operation. That would include risks of concern such as ingoing nip points, rotating parts, reciprocating, transversing, and flying chips & sparks. Any machine part, function, or process that might cause injury must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine or accidental contact with it could injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be controlled or eliminated.

Protective guarding is commonly implemented in manufacturing and warehouse facilities to safeguard personnel, equipment, the facility itself, and inventory from potential hazards. It may serve as a fixed barrier that delineates boundaries or mitigates impact. Typical uses include fixed rails around moving machinery or equipment, safety fencing or netting around high-bay storage areas to prevent injuries from falling objects, and specialized switches that trigger alarms or buzzers in the event of unauthorized access.
