Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.178(l)(1)(ii): Prior to permitting an employee to operate a powered industrial truck (except for training purposes), the employer shall ensure that each operator has successfully completed the training required by this paragraph (l), except as permitted by paragraph (l)(5): a. On or about July 31, 2013, at the above addressed jobsite, employees operating the fork lift trucks as well as the Volvo 70E wheel loaders which were equipped with quick attachment units for the lifting forks, had not received training in the safe operation of the equipment. The quick attachment units on the Volvo 70E wheel loaders allowed the operator to connect to the forks from the operator's seat but training was not provided as to the procedure to assure that the hydraulic pins had engaged to hold the fork attachment onto the factory mounted support bracket, thereby exposing employees to struck by hazards.
