Reference: ASME B56.1-1993, Part II, Paragraph 5.3.19, Operating Safety Rules and Practices, Traveling. An active operator protective device or system, when provided, shall be used. Operator protection in the event of tipover is intended to reduce the risk of entrapment of the head and torso between the truck and the ground but may not protect the operator against all possible injury (see para 7.2.2). NOTE: Among other methods of abatement, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to retrofit the forklift with a seatbelt, then require the employees to wear the seatbelt during forklift operations.
