Automatic doors and blind corners must be fitted with appropriate acoustic and/or
visual warning systems to indicate an approaching industrial truck or the operation of
the door. Passive devices – such as mirrors – are also recommended.
A distance of at least 1.5 ft (450 mm) must be maintained between obstacles and the
industrial trucks (including load). All other areas with limited space must be closed to
industrial trucks and be clearly identified by signs, markers, light signals, or other
means.
Parts of the load, machine, materials, or structural equipment projecting permanently
or temporarily into the normal working area must be appropriately protected and
clearly marked.
Lighting of operating areas: The operating areas must be adequately lit in
accordance with ANSI/IES RP7, (see also 29 CFR 1910.178 (h) with regard to the
installation of additional lamps for the direction indicator).
The owner is responsible for fitting an industrial truck or hauler with operating lights if
working conditions require it.
Protection against harmful gases and vapors: Internal combustion engines
reduce the oxygen concentration in enclosed spaces and may represent a danger if
the oxygen is not replenished.
In enclosed spaces in which machines with internal combustion engines are used, a
fan for the maintenance of the atmosphere must be used; the "Threshold Limit Values
of Airborne Contaminants" established by the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists must not be exceeded. This also includes the atmosphere inside
the cab, if a cab is present.
Inquiries related to the reduction of the concentration and the drawing of samples for
analysis of the current situation should be directed to a qualified person.
Noise level: The use of powered industrial trucks can contributed to an elevated
noise level in the work environment. Consideration must, therefore, be given to the
noise pollution affecting employees in the work environment.
1
Loading ramps (loading aisles) : The load capacity of portable and powered
loading ramps must be clearly marked. The specified load capacity must not be
exceeded.
The position of loading ramps must be fixed either by anchors or by devices to
prevent the loading ramps from being moved.
The loading ramps must have handles or other effective devices allowing them to be
handled safely. Where possible, they should be fitted with fork loops or lifting eyes
with which they can be carried by industrial trucks.
1.The recommendations for loading ramps apply also to loading aisles.
