Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.451(c)(2)(v): Forklifts used to support scaffold platforms did not have the entire platform attached to the forks: The employer does not protect its employees from fall hazards by ensuring that scaffold platforms are attached to the forks of forklifts. This violation was observed on or about December 1, 2015, at the site, where an employee was standing on a plywood platform that was elevated up to approximately 17 feet high by a Skytrak Model 8042 rough terrain forklift without the platform being attached to the forks, exposing the employee to a fall hazard. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure that scaffold platforms used to support personnel are entirely attached to the forks.
