General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from
recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that employees
were exposed to the hazard of being struck and/or caught by, and of being
thrown from a
powered industrial truck in the event of sudden stops, turns or moments of
potential overturn
or tipping.
Among other methods, one feasible and useful method to correct this hazard
is to ensure
operators of powered industrial trucks are trained on the proper use of
safety belts and to
undertake a program of periodic inspections to enforce the wear of seat
belts as outlined in
American National Standards Institute ANSI B56.1a-1989 and American
Society of Mechanical
Engineers ASME B56.1-1993 - Safety Standards for Low Lift and High Lift
