Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.178(l)(2)(ii):The employer did not ensure that each operator had successfully completed the training consisting of a combination of formal instruction (e.g., lecture, discussion, interactive computer learning, video tape, written material), practical training (demonstrations performed by the trainer and practical exercises performed by the trainee), and evaluation of the operator's performance in the workplace: On or about April 4, 2024 the employer BMB Construction LLC at jobsite located at 41 Gone Fishing Ln. Lakeside/Marblehead OH 43440 failed to ensure that employees operating a powered industrial vehicle, Gradall 534D9-45 rough terrain forklift (S/N: 0744030) were adequately trained. Untrained forklift operators are hazardous to other employees working in the direct vicinity, such as not ensuring attachments are secured to the forks and overloading by attaching platforms that are too large for the lift, increasing the likelihood of struck by incidents, tipping and rollovers.
