Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.178(p)(1): If at any time a powered industrial truck is found to be in need of repair, defective, or in any way unsafe, the truck shall be taken out of service until it has been restored to safe operating condition. Throughout the facility - The employer is failing to protect employees from potential laceration/amputation and operational injury hazards in that powered industrial trucks which have recognized mechanical hazards are allowed to be operated by employees. An employee was observed operating a powered industrial truck which had no floor plate, back up alarm or lights. The operator had to rest his heal on a portion of the floor and use the tip of his toes to activate the accelerator and brake. If his foot was to slip he would step down into the moving parts of the motor and possibly experience injury or potentially losing control of the vehicle and run into people or property in the area adjacent to the vehicle. Abatement certification and abatement documentation is required for this violation. The abatement certification sheet is enclosed with the citations.
