Odiz Safety builds custom hydraulic press guards that fit around your process and/or part. ODIZ Safety is the selected source for new and aftermarket guarding for Dake Corporation, and every guard is made in the USA. Guards can be built with steel and/or Lexan polycarbonate shields and are powder coated or epoxy coated to withstand shop conditions. Odiz can also guide you on OSHA/ANSI requirements based on your operational needs, and custom builds have a typical lead time of 2-3 weeks.
This guard is designed to help meet the OSHA machine guarding requirements of 29 CFR 1910.212, General requirements for all machines, including 1910.212(a)(1) types of guarding, 1910.212(a)(2) general requirements for machine guards, 1910.212(a)(3) point of operation guarding and 1910.212(a)(3)(iv)(d), which lists power presses among the machines that usually require point of operation guarding. It is also designed to help meet ANSI B11.0, Safety of Machinery, and ANSI B11.2, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Power Presses.
Reasoning for choosing Lexan over screen: per OSHA/ANSI standards, a risk assessment should be completed to evaluate against catastrophic failures, which could include a tool or workpiece exploding under pressure. The Lexan will stop any pieces of debris from hitting anyone and causing serious injury. The Videos tab includes an example: a catastrophic failure of a press shattering a bearing.
Odiz lists this guard for H-frame, horizontal and vertical hydraulic presses, including new and aftermarket guarding for Dake Corporation presses. Example builds on the Videos tab include a custom H-frame press guard with an interlocked bi-fold door and a custom hydraulic press guard with dual doors front and back.

OSHA 1910.212 sets the general requirements for machine guarding, covering moving parts, points of operation, in-running nip points, and flying debris. It applies to all machines to protect workers from injury caused by hazardous motion and contact.
OSHA 1910.212(b) requires that machines designed for fixed location use be securely anchored to prevent movement or tipping. Anchoring is critical for stable operation and worker safety.
OSHA 1910.212(a) establishes the general machine guarding requirements that protect employees from points of operation, moving parts, in-running nip points, and flying debris. It forms the foundation for all other machine guarding rules.
OSHA 1910.212(a)(1) requires that one or more methods of machine guarding be provided to protect operators and nearby employees from rotating parts, flying chips, sparks, and other mechanical hazards. It defines the core duty to guard all dangerous machine motions.
OSHA 1910.212(a)(2) defines the construction and design requirements for machine guards, ensuring they are strong, secure, and effective in protecting workers from mechanical hazards without introducing new risks.
OSHA 1910.212(a)(3) requires that machines have point of operation guards to protect operators from contact with cutting, shaping, or forming actions. This rule ensures workers are shielded wherever material is fed into or removed from a machine.
ANSI B11 is a suite of machine safety standards governing the design, guarding, risk assessment, and safeguarding of industrial machinery. It supports detailed safety criteria for compliance with OSHA’s machine guarding rules.
ANSI B11.0 outlines the foundational requirements for machinery safety, including terminology, risk assessment, and risk reduction principles. It serves as the broad “Type A” standard that supports machine-specific standards in the B11 series such as B11.19 and B11.C-type documents.
B11.1 provides the industry consensus safety requirements for mechanical power presses, including design, guarding, control systems, modification, risk assessment, and safe operation of these machines.
B11.17 outlines safety requirements for horizontal hydraulic extrusion presses — machines that extrude metal billets horizontally under high pressure — covering design, guarding, control systems, modification and lifecycle responsibilities for safe operation.
B11.2 provides industry consensus safety requirements for hydraulic and pneumatic power presses—machines that transmit force via hydraulic or pneumatic systems to form, cut, or assemble materials—and outlines design, guarding, control and lifecycle responsibilities.
B11.3 provides safety requirements specifically for power press brakes — covering machine design, operation, guarding, control modes, and lifecycle responsibilities to protect operators from hazards in bending operations.
