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 crushing injuries from overturning forklift trucks due to the
fact that operator
restraint systems (seat belts) provided on forklift trucks were not
required to be used, as required
by ANSI/ASME B56.1-1993.
(a) Establishment:  Employees operating the Yale forklift were not
required to wear the
provided seat belt.
Abatement Note:  Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable
abatement method to
correct this hazard is to require and effectively enforce the use of
operator restraint systems
while operating forklift trucks provided with them.
