Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.178(q)(7): Industrial trucks shall be examined before being placed in service, and shall not be placed in service if the examination shows any condition adversely affecting the safety of the vehicle. Such examination shall be made at least daily. Where industrial trucks are used on a round-the-clock basis, they shall be examined after each shift. Defects when found shall be immediately reported and corrected: On or about 02 February 2018, the employer failed to ensure that all powered industrial trucks were properly inspected and removed from service if any safety conditions were found. On the Yale Powered Industrial Vehicle, the strap that holds the propane bottle to the powered industrial vehicle was broken and was not holding the bottle in place. This exposed the employee who was operating the PIV and also all employees who were in the vicinity to a fire and explosion hazard. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
