Requisition Procedure for Forklifts

 

 

1.0            Purpose

 

Purchase Requisitions for the procurement or lease of material handling equipment (forklifts) use account code 043-028 – Material Handling Supplies & Equipment.  The Material Handling Safety Representative (MHSR) approves all requisitions for forklifts, contracted equipment, subcontracted services, repairs and maintenance.

 

2.0            Requisitions

 

2.1              New forklifts and attachments

Include the following:

·         “Equipment shall meet the safety requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178, ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 – 2005 Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks, and NFPA 505 Fire Safety Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks Including Type Designations, Areas of Use, Conversions, Maintenance, and Operations 2006 Edition.  Proof of load-test certification must accompany the equipment.”

 

2.2              Rental or Subcontractor provided forklifts

Include the following:

·         “Subcontractors shall ensure that their equipment meets the requirements of OSHA and ANSI safety standards prior to operation on site.”

·         “Powered industrial trucks and attachments used on DOE property or leased spaces will receive an initial inspection by the Jefferson Lab MHSR upon arrival.  The equipment must comply with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178, ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 – 2005, and NFPA 505 Fire Safety Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks Including Type Designations, Areas of Use, Conversions, Maintenance, and Operations 2006 Edition.  Equipment that does not comply with Jefferson Lab standards is tagged to prevent inadvertent use using the Control of NonConforming Material or Products Procedure.  The tag will remain in place until the equipment is removed from site or brought into compliance with the referenced standards to the satisfaction of the Jefferson Lab MHSR”

 

2.3              Short-term contracts for subcontractors operating Jefferson Lab forklifts

Include the following:

 

·         “Subcontractors operating Jefferson Lab forklifts shall provide proof to JSA/Jefferson Lab that their forklift operator meets the operator qualifications of OSHA and ANSI.  Subcontractor forklift operators must attend a Jefferson Lab forklift safety orientation (approximately three hours) prior to being authorized to operate any Jefferson Lab forklifts if the forklift operators training records are inadequate.  Subcontractors shall provide proof of adequate liability insurance.”

 

Text Box: It is the subcontractor’s SOTR's responsibility to submit a request to the MHSR for a Forklift Operator Safety Orientation Class. The request is submitted as early as possible, preferably three weeks prior to start of work.
