CSA B335-04 replaces CSA B335-94. the -94 represents 1994, when the document was released, and the -04 represents 2004, when the current document was released. Therefore, the new document overrides the older one, and if I am not mistaken, all of Canada follows the -04 recommendations. At least, here in Ontario, as well.

4.9.11 (e)...AND the key removed 4.9.12.2(c) return the key to the OFF position:AND (d) REMAIN in the immediate vacinity (within 1 truck length) and in ful view of the truck. Very gray and open to discussion in the court of law.

I, as an operator, would be extremely nervous if I left the key in the ignition, and a non-authorized individual jumped on a forklift, and crashed. Whoever was the last to use the forklift, and did not properly secure the forklift in case of 'accidental' movement, would likely be the culprit in participating in this incident.

An incident took place back in June north of Edmonton, Alberta, where 2 yard hands, not certified, jumped on the forklift, and it tipped. They were not authorized to operate the forklift. The truck tipped, and a 16 year old died. Therefore, the company is liable for failing to protect the health and safety of its staff, and probably because there was no in-house policy/procedure guidelines to enforce the staff to remove the key from the forklift when more than 25' away, or the truck is out of view. I would be very concerned if I was the company, and I would also be concerned if I was the last user of this forklift. It is widely known, view any safety video, that the key must be removed from the ignition. This would be considered industry standard practice.

And since these guidelines, as well as the laws are not clearly written in black and white, it leaves the guidelines open to interpretable, and any Philadelphia lawyer will use it to incriminate the faulty parties.
