OSHA wants to know all about your powered industrial trucks
OSHA is asking a lot of questions about powered industrial trucks – in an effort to gather information that may useful in a possible updating of standards for the vehicles. The standards became effective in 1971, and were based on industry consensus standards from 1969. Since then, national consensus standards have been updated several times.
Rulemaking – if it occurs – will update the powered industrial trucks standards for general, maritime, and construction industries.
