What does OSHA say about inspecting fork blades for wear?

OSHA’s Powered Industrial Truck standard at 1910.178 does not contain information relating to fork blade wear. However, the ASME B56.1 Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks states at section 6.2.8.1(f) that if the thickness of the fork blade is reduced to 90 percent of the original thickness, the fork may not be returned to service.
