• Description:
  "This document provides information on conducting a thorough daily inspection of a forklift/sit-down rider, consistent with OSHA 29 CFR § 1910.178 (q)(7), to reduce the likelihood of worker injuries during the use of powered industrial trucks (PITs). Workers use PITs to move or lift materials in warehouses, retail, manufacturing facilities, dockyards, and construction sites. Section (q)(7) of the OSHA standard requires a daily inspection of PITs before they are placed in service, or after each shift for vehicles used on a round-the-clock basis. Employers must provide PIT operators with adequate training to properly conduct a PIT inspection. The requirements of 29 CFR § 1910.178 are applicable to general industry workplaces. However, the information and recommendations in this document can be useful for construction, agricultural, longshore, maritime, and mining workplaces as well." - NIOSHTIC-2
