In cases where, despite the precautions taken, a blockage is likely to occur, the necessary specific protective devices and tools must, when appropriate, be provided to enable the equipment to be safely unblocked.\nThe instructions and, where possible, a sign on the machinery shall identify these specific protective devices and how they are to be used.",
