Because the number of injuries from operating powered industrial trucks was on the rise, the OSHA standard for Powered Industrial Trucks was revised March 1, 1999. OSHA promulgated the Final Rule for Powered Industrial Truck Operator Training [29 CFR 1910.178(1)], which:
a) Requires monthly truck inspections
b) Mandates operator training and evaluation
c) Outlines truck speed limits
d) Prohibits the use of powered industrial trucks
