By providing a removable and repositionable panel member cooperatively mountable to a support panel in a plurality of alternate positions, which support panel is mountable to a machine tool, a unique, universally applicable safety shield is achieved. Preferably, the safety shield also incorporates a front panel pivotally mounted to the support panel, and constructed of cooperative mounted engagement of the removable and repositionable panel in a plurality of alternate positions therewith. If desired, a plurality of removable and repositionable panel members are employed to further enhance the alternate configurations obtainable using the safety shield of this invention.
