About this statute

Chapter heading for general provisions. This section says the regulation applies to the use and inspection of work equipment in work covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The employer must choose a safe and suitable work tool for the employee’s job and working conditions, and the tool must not be loaded in a way that creates danger. The employer must ensure work equipment is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and instructions must be supplemented or rewritten if they are insufficient or unavailable. Employers must systematically assess work equipment safety and, if the equipment creates danger or harm, act immediately to remove it.
