The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has standards for the operation and maintenance of Powered Industrial Trucks (PITs) in the workplace. Design, training, operation, and capacity stability requirements ensure that operators of PITs of all classes are safe in the workplace. Additionally, OSHA requires daily inspections of PITs to ensure that every component is in working order.
