Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.602(c)(1)(vi): Industrial truck(s) in use did not meet the applicable requirements of design, construction, stability, inspection, testing, maintenance, and operation, as defined in American National Standards Institute B56.1-1969, Safety Standards for Powered Industrial Trucks. On or about 1 October 2019, and at times prior thereto, a forklift was used to move tools and equipment in a wooden box to the second level of a garage for unloading. The wooden box was not attached to the forklift, did not have fork pockets, did not have the tare weight identified, and was not placed up against the backstop of the carriage. The forks were not adjusted for maximum width, exposing the workers to an unstable load and struck-by hazards where operation did not account for dynamic forces.
