(4) The Department may require guards not required by this subchapter if, in it's opinion, a sufficient hazard exists to warrant this action.

(5) The guarding of all mechanical power transmission apparatus shall conform with the requirements of this subchapter, except that guards installed and accepted by the Department prior to February 16, 1929, need not be replaced unless the hazard so warrants.
