Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.178(n)(15): While negotiating turns, speed was not reduced to a safe level by means of turning the hand steering wheel in a smooth, sweeping motion. Except when maneuvering at a very low speed, the hand steering wheel was not turned at a moderate, even rate: (a) At the US Postal Service at Priority Mail Loading Docks 86-90, forklift trucks were used to unload OTRs. Forklift operators did not ensure the load was stable and reduce speed to a safe level and use a smooth sweeping motion at all times while negotiating turns to prevent the load (OTRs) from shifting and rocking then tipping off the forks.
