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

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were not utilizing the forklift operator restraint system (seat belts), exposing employees to crushing injuries in the event that the forklift tipped over: a)Warehouse forklift operators were observed not using defective forklifts and not taken out of service when the seatbelts were not replaced on or about March 23, 2004. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to replace operator restraint system (seat belts) that are torn off and require employees to wear them as required by ANSI B56.1 consensus standard for powered industrial trucks, and ASME B56.1-2000 Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks.d
