Sample Questions

Q. How often does a forklift have to be inspected?

A. OSHA requires that forklift vehicles have to be inspected at least daily, prior to first use, or after each shift when used around the clock. You will find this requirement in the Powered Industrial Truck standard at 1910.178(q)(7).

Q. If we cross a state line, can we still use the 150 air-mile radius exemption?

A. Yes. Since the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations apply to interstate commerce, crossing a state line does not affect the use of the 150 air-mile radius exceptions in §395.1(e). If you are operating in intrastate commerce and following state-specific hours-of-service regulations, crossing the state line places you under federal regulations.

Q. Who needs to submit injury and illness data to OSHA electronically?

A. Companies with 250 or more employees or those with 20-249 employees in certain “high-risk industries,” as identified by NAICS code, must submit information from Form 300A by March 2 every year for the previous year’s form.

Q. Who can provide entry-level driver training?

A. Both the theory and behind-the-wheel training must be provided by an entity listed on FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry (TPR). Most entities listed in the TPR will be truck driver training schools and motor carriers that have schools to train their own drivers.
