Stunt driving and horseplay are prohibited.
No riders shall be permitted on vehicles unless provided with adequate riding facilities.
Employees shall not ride on the forks of lift trucks.
Employees shall not place any part of their bodies outside the running lines of an industrial truck or between mast uprights or other parts of the truck where shear or crushing hazards exist.
Employees shall not be allowed to stand, pass, or work under the elevated portion of any industrial truck, loaded or empty, unless it is effectively blocked to prevent it from falling.
