I reiterate my previous remarks. Employers should/must cooperate fully with the letter and spirit of the OSHA regulations. However, do not hoist yourself by your own petard by creating unnecessary documentation. Start/begin/create documentation for an unsafe powered industrial truck (PIT) only after the qualified supervisor has determined that the truck is indeed unsafe. Forward the supervisor's determination of unsafe to maintenance who should endorse the request after fixing the problem and return it to the supervisor for file/company documentation. The company should have a carefully prepared (attorney-reviewed) document retention policy and documents should be deep-sixed in accordance with that policy. /s/ dirtft
