North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of North Carolina:  The
employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions of employment
and a place of employment free
from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or
serious physical harm to employees in
that employees were exposed to fall hazards:
a)facility - employees were using Yale Lift Trucks to lift employees 11'9"
while standing on
pallets so that employees could reach the tops of the shelves where
different types of wines are
stored.
NOTE: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to abate
this hazard is to follow the
guidelines set forth by the operator's manual (see page 28):
1) Use a safety platform secured to the lifting carriage and/or forks with
standard guardrailing.
2) There shall be an operator in the control  position on the truck.
3) If the personnel on the platform are engaged in order picking, the
platform shall have overhead
protection from falling objects as indicated necessary by the operating
conditions enforce that
employees do not get lifted up to elevated surface while standing on the
pallets attached to the
forks of the powered industrial trucks.ial
