Employees operating trucks to load and unload semi-trailers were observed not wearing seat belts. Seat belts were provided on the trucks that were observed. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to control the hazard is to develop and implement written procedures requiring operators of powered industrial trucks to wear the seat belts provided when operating trucks.
