We stack empty sleeves on a pallet, then set forklift tines on top of the cardboard while banding it. No one walks under the forks during banding. I realize there is no compression from the forklift carriage other than gravity. The forks mainly hold the stack stable and compresses the stack a little while banding. Does anyone know of any OSHA rules prohibiting this action? I want to make sure we are in compliance.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
