Napping machines are used in textile manufacturing to reduce the time needed to machine fabric. One common injury associated with napping machines is amputation of the hand or arm.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued guidelines for the use of napping machines. They recommend that operators wear protective gear, including a face shield and safety glasses, and that the machine be equipped with an automatic safety stop device.
Serious Injuries
Napping machines are textile machinery tools used to machine fabrics. They are very dangerous because they can cause serious injuries when operated incorrectly. There are many types of nap machines, but all of them share some common features. They use a round or oval cutting wheel to cut the fabric. The wheel is mounted on a rail that moves along the fabric surface. The operator sits in a chair or standing position and controls the wheel by using hand movements. When working on large pieces of fabric, napping machines can be very fast and powerful. This can lead to accidents if the operator is not careful. Nap machines can also cause injuries if they hit someone or something while moving. Injuries can range from cuts and bruises to more serious injuries such as severing a tendon or cutting off a finger.
