  1. The cart is overloaded. Although the cart might be able to safely handle the weight, the worker pushing can not see around the load and may be at risk of injury from moving a heavy load by himself. He should ask another employee for help to ensure safety.

  2. Keep exit routes clear. The cabinet and other storage in the aisle do not appear to reduce the exit width below required minimums, but the cart could block the exit aisle if left in place. Objects that project into the exit route must not reduce the width of the exit route to less than the minimum width requirements for exit routes.

  3. Better planning on housekeeping. A busy aisle may not be the best location for a supply cabinet of materials that are regularly accessed. Aisles and passageways must be kept clear, with no obstruction that could create a hazard.
