If a driver uses mirrors or a reversing (back-up) camera while backing, the driver is looking in the direction of travel and meets the intent of the OSHA rule 1910.178(n)(6). OSHA does not require that the driver physically turn his or her head to look in reverse.

Most operators of container handlers have very limited visibility when backing because of the restricted line of sight caused by vehicle design. Reversing cameras would definitely be a safety improvement on this type of equipment.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
