Occupational Safety and Health Administration Logs

Does anyone know if there is an OSHA regulation regarding?

weather or not a key can be removed from a forklift? weather or not keys can be removed from a forklift? Not worried someone will take it without authorization. MY husbands company is allowing certain people to remove the keys so that others cant use "THERE" forklift. They all share them but some people dont like to share. Someone thought there was a regulation that all operational trucks had to have keys

1. No but I think you can finds it under life and safety code in NFPA
2. I will attach the OSHA reg for power trucks. Check your state and city regs also --- the state and local may not prempt federal but then can be more restrictive.
3. http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=FEDERAL_REGISTER&p_id=13870 Look thru this website......its too long for just the simple answer However, if the company doesn't require the removal of the key for simple safety with a key log.to know whom drove it last.....they are plain and simple STUPID......
4. well if you are afraid that some one will use the forklift without authorization then take the key out problem solved
