Abstract The Council of Europe has adopted the following recommendations concerning rotary tanning drums (CIS 442-1970, Jz Xje (054)): the rotating parts of these machines should be fenced to prevent access, by enclosures, railings or other means; automatically-operated rotary drums should be fitted with a guard or fence electrically interlocked with the drum power drive, as well as a mechanical device for blocking or securing the drum (brake, prop, etc.). Pits under the drums should be surrounded by a toe-board at least 5cm in height. Examples of the application of these recommendations in the Czechoslovak tanning industry.
