jere v:

OSHA no longer requires controls in the forklift work basket. They apparently misinterpreted ANSI/ASME standards and withdrew these requirements.

On June 2, 2003 a technical amendment was published in the Federal Register that removed all of paragraph 1910.178(m)(12), including its subordinate paragraphs 1910.178(m)(12)(i) through 1910.178(m)(12)(iii).]

I can't find a requirement for forklift basket controls in your Cal/Osha standard. Cal/Osha standards take precedent over OSHA standards in California.
