I didn't operate the table saw. Guys working for me did. A couple of times they removed the guards. I nicely told them I would fire them if they did that again. Last thing I need is a stiff OSHA fine and a lost employee.
Another trick was to operate a piece of equipment we were building right next to an aisle with the skins off. Anyone who tripped walking by could put their hand on 480 volts. The guys had put one of those flimsy yellow tapes over the equipment. I put stop to that stuff too.
