The content and requirements of this standard have been incorporated into ANSI B11.19-2010
The requirements of this Standard apply to any source of hazard to people from the
operation of mechanical power transmission apparatus on machines, equipment, or
systems that are stationary in their use, other than the point operation. This
Standard applies to the sources of mechanical power, and also to pulleys, gears,
and other mechanical components used to transmit power to the point of operation.
Where other standards take precedence by specific reference to power
transmission apparatus, this B15.1 Standard shall not apply. Hazards to people
pertain to the rotating, oscillating, reciprocating, transversing, or other motions
associated with equipment used in the mechanical transmission of power. See
ANSI B11, Standards on Safety Require- ments for Construction, Care, and Use of
Machine Tools, for "machine tools" point of operation and related workzone safe
practices. This Standard does not apply to mobile equipment. "Stationary in their
use" also includes mechanical power trans- mission apparatus which is mounted
on, part of, or attached to equipment which is capable of being moved when the
mechanical power transmission apparatus is not performing its function. This
Standard does not apply to lift trucks, transit concrete mixers, and other similar
pieces of mobile equipment.
