Forklift Inspections

What is the OSHA standard for (Length of Time) to keep the inspection records for daily inspections sheets? In case of an OSHA Audit, I believe its 1 year, but looking for clarifiaction, my home state is OKLAHOMA.

Thanks in advance

Cool, thanks Joseph. I had an idea this is how it works, but good advice to keep records just in case.

U.S. OSHA does not require written documentation for PIT daily inspection activity. A wise employer, however, will document such activity. Any record retention is at the discretion of the employer.

Wow hey dee c I'm in OK as well! I will be interested in the replies as well. So far no one has asked me that yet but I do a fair amount of Operator Training so I am sure it will come up. If I had my rathers I would do nothing but training and let someone else peddle the forklifts----
