J. General Inspection Procedures.

*   *   *

3. Seat Belts. The CSHO shall determine whether each vehicle or machine equipped with Rollover Protective Structure/Falling Object Protective Structure (ROPS/FOPS) or overhead guards, including employee-owned vehicles and machines, has seat belts provided for the operator meeting the requirements of the revised standard.

The employer shall assure that each employee uses the available seat belt while the vehicle or machine is being operated. There are different ways in which an employer can meet this obligation. One method is informing employees of this requirement during training, reinforcing the requirement during regular safety and health meetings, and by conducting spot checks of employees while they are operating vehicles and machines. The CSHO shall determine through employer/employee interviews whether employees are using seat belts whenever they operate a machine or vehicle.
