Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.178(c)(2)(viii): The employer did not ensure that only approved power-operated industrial trucks designated as DY, EE, or EX were used in locations which are hazardous because of the presence of easily ignitable fibers or flyings but in which such fibers or flyings are not likely to be in suspension in the air in quantities sufficient to produce ignitable mixtures: a) Sawmill building 4, employees used a Toyota, 7FDU20, forklift truck in areas that contained combustible dust. The forklift truck, which was not designated as DY, EE or EX, was not approved for use in atmospheres in which combustible dust was present.
