Fork Operator Question:
Do you know how often does the fire extinguisher on the forklift have to be inspected?
Answer:
OSHA does not require fire extinguishers on forklifts. However, if they are provided they would fall under 1910.157(e), which requires portable fire extinguishers to be visually inspected monthly and subjected to a maintenance check annually.
