Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.176(a): Use of mechanical equipment. Where mechanical handling equipment is used, sufficient safe clearances shall be allowed for aisles, at loading docks, through doorways and wherever turns or passage must be made. Aisles and passageways shall be kept clear and in good repair, with no obstruction across or in aisles that could create a hazard. Permanent aisles and passageways shall be appropriately marked. a) On or about January 22, 2025, the employer failed to ensure that permanent aisles were appropriately marked to separate pedestrian traffic from forklift operations. As a result, employees walking in the aisle were exposed to struck-by hazards from a Yale forklift operating in the same unmarked travel path.
