I am looking for documentation on forklift tank filling procedure, specifically in the horizontal position while in a storage rack with the indexing hole in the proper down position. I spoke to someone at Worthington cylinder and got no reply.
Our safety manager said the horizontal position while filling is an OSHA violation and that vertical is the only acceptable way. I don't have a copy of the NFPA standard.
Thanks
