PREFACE
HE Textile Safety Code was formulated by the Textile Safety
Code Committee. This is a committee of the American Stand­
T
ards Association, a national body organized to promote the develop­
ment of industrial standards and codes for adoption and enforce­
ment by States and for voluntary adoption by individual industrial
concerns.
The procedure for each project of this kind is to appoint one or
more organizations as sponsors to organize and supervise the work
on that project. These sponsors organize a committee, usually con­
sisting of 20 to 50 representatives of national organizations and
groups interested in or affected by the project, including manufac­
turers of equipment and machinery, users of equipment and machinery, operatives, insurance companies, State and governmental bodies,
and technical experts.
In this case, the American Standards Association appointed the
National Safety Council as sponsor for the Textile Safety Code.
The National Safety Council organized the Textile Safety Code
Committee, the personnel of which follows:

INTRODUCTION
1. This code is one of a number of safety codes on various subjects
which have been or are being formulated under the general auspices
of the American Standards Association.
2. It is intended for voluntary adoption and use as a standard for
safeguarding textile machinery and equipment by concerns operating
such machinery and equipment and by the manufacturers of textile
machinery and equipment.
SECTION 1. SCOPE AND PURPOSE
Rule 10. Scope.
These requirements apply to all plants operating textile machinery
and equipment such as pickers, cards, combing machinery, drawing
frames, slubbers, roving frames, ring spinning frames, spinning
mules, spoolers, twisters, warpers, slashers, looms, inspection ma­
chines, folding machines, baling presses, sewing machines, cloth singei washing machines, kiers, mercerizing and tenter frames, mangles,
winders, dry cans, dyeing padders, jigs and vats, color mixers, print­
ing machines, soapers, aging boxes, pasters, dampeners, calenders,
hookers, doublers, extractors, bottles, and other machinery and equip­
ment used for similar purposes.
Rule 11. Purpose.
The purpose of this code is to provide reasonable safety for life,
limb, and health. In cases of practical difficulty or unnecessary hard­
ships, the enforcing officers or body may grant exceptions from the
literal requirements of this code or permit the use of other devices
or methods, but only when it is clearly evident that equivalent pro­
tection is thereby secured.
Buie 12. Exceptions.
After the date on which this code becomes effective all new con­
struction and installations shall conform to its provisions. Equip­
ment installed prior to that date shall be modified to conform to its
