J. General Inspection Procedures.

13. Overhead Guards. The revised standard requires that each forklift be equipped with an overhead guard which meets the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME B56.6-1992 (with addenda), "Safety Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift Trucks." (The preamble of the revised standard mistakenly references the 1987 ASME standard. This reference should be disregarded.) This section does not provide an exception for forklifts placed into service before the effective date of the Standard.

14. Machine Safety Features. The CSHO shall determine whether the following requirements are met:

a) Each machine cab has a second means of egress.

b) Walking and working surfaces of each machine and machine work station have a slip resistant surface to assure safe footing.

c) The walking and working surface of each machine are kept free of waste, debris and any other material that could cause fire, slipping, or falling.

d) The exhaust pipes of machines are equipped with spark arresters. Engines equipped with turbochargers are not required to have spark arresters.
