This fracture between "official" truth and empirical reality stems from divergent construals of landfills as enclosed compartments from the perspective of planners and policy makers on one hand, and as dynamic, multidimensional, even threatening elements in the landscape from the perspective of local residents on the other.

We’ll try to explain in simple terms the meaning of the often complex wording of OSHA forklift safety regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.178. We won’t cover every forklift Operator training ...................... 5 safety scenario that could possibly occur, but will address the more common OSHA safety regulations Truck operations ...................... 6 and general safe rules of operation. The first part contains general descriptions of the most common Traveling ............................... 10 types of powered industrial trucks, while the final part describes the safe operating guidelines for Loading ................................. 12 industrial trucks. Maintenance of industrial trucks .................................... 14 General safety issues............. 15 Types of powered industrial trucks Conclusion ............................. 17 There are several types of powered industrial trucks used within warehousing and manufacturing facilities. Counterbalanced sit-down type lift truck The most common type is the counterbalanced sit-down type lift truck. This truck has a heavy counterweight over the rear steering tires that keep the back of the truck on the ground when carrying loads. The most common hydraulic options on this truck are the lift mechanism, which causes the forks to raise and lower; the tilt mechanism, which tilts the forks forward or backward; and the side shift mechanism, which moves the forks to the right or left.
